Playstation Quotes

(on how he prepares for a role] I have a very traditional background. I`m theater-trained. I don`t know. I do my homework.

(on collaborating with Dominic Monaghan on a script:) "I don`t really think I`m a good writer. I think I`m too lazy to be a writer. There`s always a Playstation or a movie or something to pull me away. Dom`s better at writing and being that kind of guy. When I was filming in Mexico, we did a lot of it on tape and then Dom would write it later. Now we`re working with a writer called David Gregg to finish it off and polish it up a bit, I guess. It`s looking really good, and there are a lot of people interested in making it, and that`s even better. So, hopefully, I`d love to work with Dom again and do a couple of different characters. I think it could be fun if we manage to keep a career going, to have this kind of two actors working together, but always playing different parts. It would be fun, I think." (December 11, 2003)
