I'm definitely an elbow-room guy.
I'm fortunate enough with the surfing to be very much at home at the water - my pulse and heart rate are slower in the water than they are on land.
I'm not one of those actors who gets physically fit for a role and then loses it all again.
It's easier to promote things, if you have fans.
My mum is about five foot with her hair done. Without it she's about four foot 10.
That's something lacking in a lot of modern-day families - just talking. It's almost a lost art form.
I'm glad acting sunk its teeth into me, because now I can't imagine doing anything else.
I've always been relatively reserved with my social encounters.
The fact that 'True Blood' affects people in this way is incredible to me - the fact we have to go to such great lengths to hide storylines just proves the cache our show has.
I'm drawn to a good story, really, as I hope most people are. For me, it's the story that's going to stay with you eventually, not necessarily the genre. I go to watch a film because of the story, not because it was a Western or a comedy.
I've been acting for a long time now, but as narcissistic as this sounds - and I don't mean it to sound - every time I see my name up there, there is real sense of pride.
I don't know if my sense of humor goes over Americans' heads.
One of my favorite actors is Paul Newman. He could tell so much with a single look, whereas some actors would need an entire five page monologue to give off the feeling of what he could say with just a single look.
I'm not the kind of guy that inspires madness in people.
I don't necessarily find superheroes in general, for me, that appealing. I'd much prefer to play, if I was to be cast in a superhero film, I'd prefer to play the villain because there's a reason, there's a motive behind their madness.
