When I find someone who is worth it, I'll be nice and respect that person and put some time in.Collection: Respect
I don't come from a famous family and don't have this detachment from everyday people and everyday life. I'm just doing my job and the attention that comes with it is part of the territory.Collection: Famous
I think gardens are fantastic, and I'd love to draw and design and stuff like that. I love just planting flowers during the summer. There's something very humble about it, and natural and beautiful.Collection: Design
This is my trademark: I rip my T-shirt. I'm into the whole showing-a-bit-of-chest-hair thing.
'Villain' is such a harsh word.
I have two older brothers. I am the baby. We're all very, very close. We're great communicators, so we get along really well.
I can get moody sometimes when I wake up after a nap - I'm like a four-year-old.
To be respected as an actor it doesn't help to be seen out in the clubs.
I've always connected with music. Life's not always what you see; it's what going on in your head. Music is what comes out of your subconscious.
It's always good to be around nice-looking people.
I'm all for being in love and whenever I like someone, I end up pretty much completely smitten.
I wouldn't want a manicure. I'm a man's man!
I'm a big fan of Elvis, man. I got 'Heartbreak Hotel' tattooed on my chest.
Be a good-looking corpse. Leave a good-looking tattoo.
Live fast, die young.
I grew up in a middle class English family just outside London. I wasn't surrounded by that speedy city lifestyle, it was a little mellower.
I was just doing bits and pieces of acting in the U.K. I'd been in the film 'Breaking and Entering' - Anthony Minghella gave me my start and I miss him dearly. Then I made the trip out to L.A., during one of their pilot seasons, which was when they were developing 'Gossip Girl,' and I auditioned, and things came together.
I've got a clear line between work and real life.
If people want to really know what's up with me then they can read one of my interviews.
Today there are paparazzi out, I'm doing a day of press, I'm in a hotel, I've just been on Radio 1. But when I'm in my day-to-day life people don't know who I am and I'm left to my own devices.
I can't stand watching myself on TV.
When I need to think of, like, a peaceful scene or something, I think of my back garden in summertime. And whenever I hear the lawnmower next door, I always think it's really peaceful.
I can pretty much live without fast food. I haven't eaten McDonald's in so long, but it's okay.
I bite my nails. I've been chewing on them for years. As long as you don't chew through flesh it's all right.
I've been writing a lot of poetry recently. It helps me think and work things out.
I feel like you just need to keep writing until the writing itself just begins to take shape.
I'm just happy to be doing a job that I love.
I love working in America, I love being part of the industry out here.
I'm an actor; I want to play roles, not a role.
Keep your standards high, and any guy who is worth it will rise to meet them.Collection: Inspirational
You have to do things that excite you; you have to have a passion for your work. Otherwise you're just a face on the screen.Collection: Passion
I'm a big fan of London in the summertime. English people are dependent on weather to change our attitudes, and, provided it's a decent summer, everyone's spirits are uplifted and the whole place is in bloom. It's a magical transformation. London in the summer, going to see bands play outside, watching football.Collection: Summer
People think Chace is gay, and thought I was gay, that we were humping. It’s not true, but hilarious. People project their fantasies onto people. I’ve never been someone who makes it my objective to go out and pick up chicks. But I’ve met some fantastic ladies here. You know those amazing conversations where you find yourself in a café talking until 2 a.m. and never see them again.Collection: Gay
This is my trademark: I rip my T-shirt. I’m into the whole showing-a-bit-of-chest-hair thing.Collection: Rip
I don't want to do something where I play a kid in a school. And I don't understand these spoof movies.Collection: School
I don't think musicals are my thing. I'm not a big fan. Definitely have to get on the stage and do something like a straight play.Collection: Thinking
Music gets inside you, music captures you. Music becomes your heartbeat. It’s a drug and makes you feel whatever the song’s about.Collection: Song
It's very difficult to juggle two careers, unless you're going to have someone put it all together for you. Because you're on TV, somebody just gives you a record deal - that's not how I'd want to get it, because it's just not real.Collection: Real

I'm a rock 'n' roll guy, really. I'm a big fan of Elvis. I got "Heartbreak Hotel" tattooed on my chest.Collection: Rocks
I like the glamorous indie rock look, like The Libertines. But you know, without the heroin needle sticking out of my arm.Collection: Indie Rock
I grew up with it. As a young actor, I was always aware of the brilliant work of Shakespeare. We studied Romeo & Juliet and Macbeth in school. As a young actor, you're always mystified and intrigued by such brilliant work. To actually have the chance to be involved in this production was a wonderful thing for me.Collection: School
