“I actually went to university.”

I only remember the end of my dreams, like waking up at a steering wheel, or falling.

I want to play characters that are interesting to watch.

Most actors are drawn towards historical tellings because it’s one of the most simple forms of storytelling.

I’m not that kind of Bob Dylan, tortured creative.

Never agree to say or do anything that isn’t you.

I’d rather be shot than be seen falling out of some trendy club.

Half my fan mail comes from Japan.

My dad is a doctor, a professor of psychiatry, and my mum is a psychotherapist.

When I was at school, I was in choirs more than anything else, from a very young age, about 9 years old. And then I started taking drum lessons.

I always looked really young for my age. And once I hit 23, 24 and 25, I was then allowed to play the cool 18-year-olds and stuff.

Sexuality is a topic that has huge shifts in -society. Attitudes toward different sexualities change, but the actual sexuality of a human being is something that’s consistent, and it’s consistently interesting, and so people write about it.

I have done lots of music projects in my life and some of them I am more proud of than others.

I don’t really know who I am as an actor: the best thing would be to experiment with it for the next 30 years and never really find out.

I don’t really see the point in making a film unless you can think of a good reason to do it.

When you’re doing a film, people are always telling you exactly what to do. Literally, your own decisions are taken away from you.

Jeff Bridges is one of my favorite actors in the history of ever.

I don’t actually think “true love” is such a good term because love can only be true. If it isn’t true it can’t be love.

I’ve always wanted to have a book published – it was a dream of mine, but the thought of actually writing a book made me feel really sick.

The Taliban had become deeply unpopular and were actually discarded by the Pashtun population almost as quickly as they were in the north. I don’t see the Taliban coming back in any way.

The ultimate freedom from the nonexistent ego is to see that it is actually irrelevant.

Our yearning for truth actually comes from truth.

Actually, all paths lead away from the truth…how’s that? All paths. There’s no such thing as a path to the truth. The truth’s already here, where are you going?

There are many, many books I’ve read and I think this is quite naïve actually because we all just try to uncover something.

Only when the pursuit ceases, is it possible to recognize what comprises you: pure being, pure consciousness. This is actually the very substance of your own self and being.
