“Speak in extremes, it’ll save you time.”

It’s only forever, Not long at all.

I’ve come to the realisation that I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing half the time.

If I never wake again, I certainly will have lived while I was alive.

You can neither win nor lose if you don’t run the race

In my madness I see your face in mine.

I met my wife because we were both going out with the same guy.

Confront a corpse at least once. The absolute absence of life is the most disturbing and challenging confrontation you will ever have.

Some people are marching together and some on their own. Others are running, the smaller ones crawl. But some sit in silence.

In your fear, seek only peace. In your fear, seek only love.

I’ve never responded well to entrenched negative thinking.

I’m just an individual who doesn’t feel that I need to have somebody qualify my work in any particular way. I’m working for me.

I could never, ever talk to my father. I really loved him, but we couldn’t talk about anything together. There was this really British thing that being even remotely emotional was absolutely verboten.

Tomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming.

I have found myself deeply, deeply intrigued by the ska-punk scene. It’s such an expressive form of popular music, it’s so real, it’s got so much life: it’s the most vital music in the world.

I was studying Tibetan Buddhism when I was quite young, again influenced by Kerouac.

Make the best of every moment. We’re not evolving. We’re not going anywhere.

You know how advice is. You only want it if it agrees with what you wanted to do anyway.

People are eager to comment on something when they themselves are not in the situation of doing it.

Just trust your instincts. There’s an old saying in golf, you’ve studied the swing many times, and you practice and practice, but when you stand over the ball, you just have to trust your swing. And you trust it. And if you don’t trust it, you’ll ruin it; your brain will take over.

Be careful who you get advice from. I get advice from people who are where I want to be.

Don Siegel last advice to me was ‘Don’t short yourself.’ He said the tendency is when an actor’s directing is to kind of you want to work on everybody else but you’re going to short yourself. He said, take the time to do a good job with yourself so that you’re satisfied with it.

Don’t be afraid to take advice. There’s always something new to learn.

Whoever passes forty without his virtue overpowering his vice, let him get ready for hellfire. This advice contains enough for people of knowledge.

Don’t ever give anybody your best advice, because they’re not going to follow it.
