- [on auditioning for Across the Universe (2007)] Before the audition, I'd never sung a bloody note before in my life. I think that's kind of why they liked me.
- [on working with Julie Taymor] She's like working with an, I don't know, atom bomb. One idea will spawn a million other ideas really quickly, but they all follow her logic so you've got to keep up with it. But she's an actor's director. She comes from the theater. That was the major appealing point for me. She's very free. She lets you go. She lets you explore, and then she can completely sort of hang onto an idea and force an idea, which, as you can see, sometimes is a really cool thing.
- [on his grotesque scene in The Ruins (2008)] Dude, there are scenes in ('The Ruins')... they're something. Some horrible stuff. People were walking off set when I got my leg chopped off. I took one of those home, by the way. You can imagine trying to get through immigration with a foot.
- [on playing a real-life character in Control (2007)] I thought, "What happens if I played him wrongly and he's pissed?" But, no, he was all right, apparently. So I'm yet to meet him, and I sort of want to, because I've played his guitar. But I haven't met him. Which is a bit weird.
- [on how he found out he got the job as Alistair in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 (2012)] I was washing up, standing in the kitchen, and the phone rings and next thing you know you are off to tackle a vampire. That's the best bit about it all. Obviously the filming is amazing, but generally when you go for something and you want it and they come back and they want you too that's fantastic. It doesn't get much better than that. So it was good day, just standing in the kitchen washing up - nothing glamorous.
