“I loved The Fall; I was kind of obsessed with that show.”

I think if you play characters, it’s very important not to ever tag them with any sort of disorder, or diagnose them, or whatever. You have to normalize the behavior to get inside the character.

If you behave like a celebrity, then people will treat you like a celebrity, and if you don’t, they won’t. There’s not much to write about me in the tabloids.

For me it’s always been about the stories, not what medium. The medium is secondary to the stories.

I think any actor that says ‘I never watch my films’ is a liar because you have to watch it at least once and also you’re going to watch it when you’re doing your ADR.

I always think it’s a sign of a truly gifted director when they can move seamlessly between genres.

I think audiences are a lot more intelligent than what we give them credit for and understand that an actor is playing a role and that doesn’t mean he can’t play different types of roles.

I suppose I’ve always been attracted to this sort of outsider in general – in literature, in music, politics, whatever – and to the person that is able to be relentlessly themselves. I don’t think that I have that quality, that strength of mind.

I personally think if something’s not a challenge there’s no point doing it because you’re not gonna learn much.

I’m terrible. I’m the wrong person to talk to, I really don’t know a thing.

I think for me with theater, I need to take a break and then fall in love with it again. And then go do it again.

It was very much about performances, the whole ensemble thing was just great – everybody working together. Sometimes it didn’t feel like a film set. It wasn’t technically driven, it was very, very enjoyable.

I don’t have a burning passion to live in America per se but I would certainly like to work there.

My wife can see always how a part affects me personally because she has to live with it.

I’d probably have been wealthier if I had stayed with law, but pretty miserable doing it.

I’m interested in pressure, I’m interested in duress. All the great works of art, or film or literature, in my opinion, have elements of those in them.

Having started out in theatre, I feel an impulse to do it as much as I can.

Being pregnant was very much like falling in love. You are so open. You are so overjoyed. There’s no words that can express having a baby growing inside of you so, of course, you want to scream it out and tell everyone.

I fell in love with her when we were together, then fell deeper in love with her in the years we were apart.

We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created.

It doesn’t matter if you fall down, it’s whether you get back up.

I fell in love with your personality, your looks are just a bonus.

Ain’t nobody gonna care enough to catch you fall.

You fall in love, and it completely consumes you.

We must be committed to getting back up and beginning again the exact same number of times that we fall, trip, or get pushed down.⁣
