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

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.

I’m not an overnight success. I’ve been doing it for 12 years. It’s been lovely and varied so far.

We look at science as the ultimate answer for everything yet we are really messy organisms and when the two collide in the upper echelons of medicine you think science will prevail but it’s not always that way.

I’m very excited about all the offers and interest and support pouring in through crowd-funding, and about having a lovely gap coming up when I’ll finally be able to sit down with books and scripts and talk to my partners about how we take the company forward.

I was always performing, doing silly voices. The teachers realized I could go one of two ways: be creative or destructive.

One of the best things about being an actor is that it’s a meritocracy.

Maybe it’s just getting older, but I don’t want to miss things.

Not that i had a big arse but even that was toned.

We should have a conversation when we hang up.

Actor is an odd profession, and sometimes people get jealous, but I haven’t really experienced any of that. Everyone’s been really happy for me, which is really, really great.

My massive motivation in life is to make parents proud. But even that has to stop at a point.

As long as men will not be freed from their errors and delusions, humanity will not be able to go towards (“marcher vers”, Fr.) the accomplishment of its true destinies.

There is nothing wrong with being well off as long as money has a social and ethical value and is not the object of one’s own greed.

Buy me a drink, sing me a song; take me as I come, cause I can’t stay long.

Likewise that it must be all the same to them that these adhere to such or such religion, so long as a full (or complete) liberty is equally garantee for everyone.

I long to create something that can’t be used to keep us passive: I want to write a script about plumbing, how every pipe is joined to every other.

I am always interested in the ways of scoring the sound of the poem, especially a poem with long lines.

We have lived with violence far too long.

The vixen I met at twilight on Route 5 south of Willoughby: long dead. She was an omen to me, surviving, herding her cubs in the silvery bend of the road in nineteen sixty-five.
