“I’m not really an animal person.”

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 want to take advantage of any popularity I have.

What I read is so distorted that I cannot believe that the person they are talking about is myself.

Every time I play with someone, not just a new person, but someone I’ve been with all along, that’s where I really learn.

You are the most difficult person you will ever lead.

It’s in my wheelhouse to be creepy, as a person.

The true measure of a person’s character is how one handles one’s failures, not successes.

Suffering is also good, it makes a person rich in charachter.

I don’t buy the whole mythology of the sixties. I think I’m an intergenerational person.

It takes a great deal of courage to follow another person’s lead.
