Here's the funny thing about the response I've been aware of to my dating famous people: It's been very negative. I'm either not good-looking enough not a good enough actor or not successful enough for these people.

Celebrities say they date other celebrities because they have the same job. But I think they just like dating famous people. Celebrities attract each other like cattle.

Whenever I'm in theatre situations I will go out of my way not to talk about my father but in the film world I can be really proud of my family and say 'You know what: my dad's a really really famous theatre director ' because nobody has any idea.

In a school where everyone is famous or rich or whatever you have a culture 'What does your dad do?' 'What does your mom do?'

In France we don't yet have the craft that American TV does or big studios like Paramount. It was so cool going through those famous gates when you have your own little pass and picture on it. Woo hoo I'm going to work!

I never set out to become 'famous.' I mean when you're 14 you think 'I'm gonna become a writer and people will want my autograph and that'll be cool ' but you grow up and you learn that's just not how the world works. I resigned myself to the fact that I would probably never be published and if I did it probably wouldn't be a big deal.

I am super-proud to have a sort of famous character in my background that if you're a certain age he was probably a part of your youth. I think that's pretty cool.

I have actor friends but they're not famous. I feel like if you're an actor or - famous you have to overly prove that you're a normal cool person.

When I was 24 I was full of life. I was that ham who wanted to be famous a movie star all that stuff. I think it's cool. But it was not what I was searching for really. It was more a delusion.

I've noticed that once you leave London you do kind of become a bit more famous. People in London are a bit too cool for school. It's not so unusual to see someone from London in the street. But outside of London people are a bit more excited to see you and come out and support you.
