To play Bond, though, and then for the world to perceive you in a certain way, is very different from playing Superman. Bond is not this ideal figure.
My mother is such an incredibly strong woman. She raised a family of five boys extremely well. She made us all strong, loving, caring people. We all support each other. I'm really thankful to her.
I wouldn't say Bond is an ideal figure, no. The character has been performed in so many different ways that people go, "Oh, that's an interesting take on Bond. "
I liked SupermanBatman: The Search for Kryptonite because I really enjoyed the interaction between those two characters.
If you're a good actor, then you channel enough of yourself into the character so that you do get that other thing.
My mother works in a bank, and my dad is the head of my management team and also works in finance.
Regrets are something you can't really have as an actor, because ultimately you'll end up destroying yourself there's a lot of disappointment in this business.
No matter what era we're in, we need hope.
Ideally you do want people to treat you professionally in return, but not everyone necessarily does that.
I go to work, I do a job, I play a role, and then I go home. I don't wear a cape at home. I'm not an invulnerable alien at home.
I'd rather feel empathy for a character that's fictional, so it doesn't quite tie into personal experience as much.
If I spend all my time being upset about having lost a job, then the next however many auditions I have are going to be useless.
As much as I do love real-life stories they can often make you hurt in a way I'd rather not hurt. . . . For some reason, it's always the pain that gets you.
I suppose that when I'm building a character, it's usually related to what their family is like and who their parents are, as well as how I grew up - that nurture side.
I'm loyal to a fault. I may have learned that from my mother.
I hate to say "found himself" - it sounds so ridiculous.
If I spend all my time being upset about having lost a job, then the next however many auditions I have are going to be useless. So as you're going through the process, you get excited and put your all into it. But you don't get carried away, because until you do the thing, nothing hasn't happened yet. The rest is just talk.
If there is some sort of trouble at home, kids don't think that James Bond is going to come save their mum from their dad, or their dad from their mum. They don't think, "Bond is going to come and save me. " Superman is a different sort of idealized figure.
I work out two, two and a half hours a day.
The point of acting is to pretend you're someone else and sell a story.
