James: I considered becoming a priest very seriously. I wanted to travel the world. By the time I turned 16, I realised I was only in it for selfish reasons. And, more importantly, I didn't want to sacrifice the ladies!
(edit)
(on being approached in public toilets by fans)
James: People are never nasty to me, but I do find it disconcerting when you're urinating and the guy next to you goes, 'Hey man, love the movie', and I'm like, 'Er. Thanks.' It's even worse when they try to shake your hand. I'm like, 'Wash your hand, it's just been on your d**k. (edit) (on kissing Angelina Jolie in "Wanted")
James: I can tell you what it was like to kiss her on a film set: It was awkward, sweaty and not very nice. There was angst involved in that, as always. I don't think Brad Pitt felt threatened for one moment. (edit) (on his six-pack during the film "The Wanted")
James: They were not a special effect. It was the result of a lot of time at the gym - which I hated. I would actually rather eat dog poo than exercise. (edit) (revealing he will take a break in acting to spend more time with his wife)
James: I have been in employment for a long time, so I am taking a bit of a break. I've done enough for a while and people get fed up of seeing you, but apart from that, although I'm young, I need a bit of rest. You could say I have become a house husband. It's not a new man thing, it's just largely a boring man who doesn't mind staying in the house thing. (edit)
