By Nature I'm Not A Brooder.

At The End Of Drama School, I Made A Contract With Myself: I'd Try Acting For Five Years. I Was 26. I Had Already Spent Eight Years Working In Restaurants And Gas Stations. So I Had Seen Enough Small Businesses To Understand That That's What Acting Is: A Small Business.

My Agent Said To Me Five Years Ago, 'hugh, I Can See One Day You... If I Had To Plan A Goal For You, It's For You To Have The Kind Of Career That Sinatra Had.'

I Treat Auditions Like I Treated My First Dates. It's An Opportunity To Get To Know A Stranger And To Learn From Each Other.

When Lifting, I'm Always With A Trainer Because The Thing That Makes A Difference Is That Last 20% In Your Training, And He Very Scientifically Looks After My Food As Well, Because When I'm Going For A 'shirt Off' Shot, Everything Changes The Month Before, And I'm Timed Down To The Day.

Becoming A Father, I Think It Inevitably Changes Your Perspective Of Life. I Don't Get Nearly Enough Sleep. And The Simplest Things In Life Are Completely Satisfying. I Find You Don't Have To Do As Much, Like You Don't Go On As Many Outings.
