It takes obstacles to learn, grow, be better.
I have good spacial awareness, and I'm pretty comfortable with a sword.
As a child, I was always drawn to heroic characters. I decided I wanted to act when I realised that Superman and all those gangsters and Indians were just real people in costume.
You see movie stars advertising all sorts of things today for whatever reason. And it may be that it affords them the luxury to do smaller movies or to go and do a play.

You can't date if you're famous. That's how it seems to me.
I want to do things that terrify me, unless they're going to kill me.

Wanting to be a rock star, I get it. I'm like, 'Oh, my God, dude! The freedom!'
Creativity is the key for any child with dyslexia - or for anyone, for that matter. Then you can think outside of the box. Teach them anything is attainable. Let them run with what you see is whatever they need to run with.

I found myself doing all these action-adventure movies, and it's been a fantastic experience, and I've learnt a lot.
You can drive an SUV, but there's a balance. If you do that, maybe use energy-efficient light bulbs at home or just be conscious of switching off lights. If you can afford to drive an SUV, maybe you can afford to make a donation to a wind farm or plant some trees. It's all about balance.

I am very different to how people think I am. It's the characters I play that they are responding to.
There's a whole element of human interaction and character interaction that I really enjoy doing.
