On his rise to fame and dealing with all that comes with stardom:
"It would be wrong of me to say that I don’t get seduced by certain things. That things don’t become tempting. The thing is I don’t like to filter my behaviour, but I have a feeling that might be the case now…I don’t want to be in the newspapers. I just want to keep what I do on screen and that’s it.”

On looking ahead to the next phase in his career:
“The next thing is to develop, make your own stories with writers, gather a pool of creative people and develop stuff. So it’s not the fact that I’m waiting for someone else to hire me or I’m waiting for a really good script to arrive, I’m actually trying to make that script.”
