“It does get strange when you realize people will hang around for hours to get a glimpse of you doing scenes outside.”

As an actor, you are aware of how a role can seep into your real life.

Having your adolescence at an all-male boarding school is just crap.

I think the characters are supposed to be an open book, blank canvas.

I’ve seen and swam and climbed and lived and driven and filmed. Should it all end tomorrow, I can definitely say there would be no regrets. I am very lucky, and I know it. I really have lived 5,000 times over.

Enjoy the journey of life and not just the endgame. I’m also a great believer in treating others as you would like to be treated.

When you’re a kid, ‘Star Trek’ is a slower burn. It’s funny, it’s entertaining, but it also has a maturity about it – which is its universal appeal, I think.

I never really got obsessed about one thing for long. I was a bit of a butterfly and a magpie.

I think I’ve had very knee-jerk emotional reactions to things, and sometimes I’ve said things without thinking. Being overly emotional clouded my judgment.

I’m excited to see where the Illuminati and whatever else might happen, how that works, and where it ends up.

I’m not very geeky. I’m quite homespun. I would say I’m more modern rustic than gadget-orientated. I like woollen things and log fires and whiskey

When you freefall for 7,000 feet it doesn’t feel like you’re falling: it feels like you’re floating, a bit like scuba diving.

Honestly, it’s very satisfying, and I’m very, very happy about how successful the last few years have been… It’s great for the people who supported me early on to see the success I’m enjoying now.

I want to be better at staying connected.

Even though my parents experiences were different from mine. I wasn’t a child actor brat; I didn’t travel with them in the circuit. But I got a look into their world, so I did know what I was getting into, to an extent. And they are a constant source of grounding.

I wasn’t born into land or titles, or new money, or an oil rig.

I’m a high-functioning sociopath, do your research.

It has been modified by many great revolutions, brought about by an inner mechanism of which we very imperfectly comprehend the movements; but of which we gain a glimpse by studying their effects:

I’d walked too close to heaven and gotten a glimpse. The hell I’d lived before her no longer appealed to me.

We were talking about the space between us all and the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion. Never glimpse the truth – then it’s far too late when they pass away.

Having glimpsed a small part of life, men rise up and disappear as smoke, knowing only what each one has learned.

It is an awful thing to get a glimpse, as one sometimes does, when the time is past, of some little, little wheel which works the whole mighty machinery of fate, and see how our destinies turn on a minute’s delay or advance.

When you catch a glimpse of your potential, that’s when passion is born.

I have forgotten your love, yet I seem to glimpse you in every window.

The artist sees what others only catch a glimpse of.
