| Quotes: |
I've always played sport. I played rugby, I was involved in athletics, I played cricket... I'm an outdoors kind of guy.
<br />
<hr>
I'm not someone who has a lengthy attention span, and that applies to my exercise routine as well.
<br />
<hr>
I was always realistic about the fact I wanted to be involved with big films.
<br />
<hr>
I was a bit of a show-off in school and loved playing dress-up, and my passion for it just grew as I got older.
<br />
<hr>
I started coming to L.A. as often as I could, for three months on and three months off, because immigration kicks you out after 90 days. |
