Quotes

• (about his male and female fans) "That's great isn't it? Hoo-Rah! If the birds don't work out, I can switch to the boys."
• "When it comes to acting, it is very limiting to be English. It was 'Bring on the posh!' All the parts I was being offered involved my accent or someone with money and title."
  

My Recommended Films & TV

• Match Point - a Woody Allen film
  
• Brideshead Revisited - even though I think the 1981 version was better, this one is pretty good too, especially since it has Matthew
  
• Watchmen - I'm not a fan of Matthew with blond hair but the film was, interesting
  
• A Single Man - a must watch, seriously, this film is great, the book was even better. I have to say the film version of Jim (who Matthews plays) is way better than my imagination Jim while reading the book.
