“My sexual nature is irrelevant. I’m an actor, I play roles, fragments of myself.”

I’m not a prophet or a stone aged man, just a mortal with potential of a superman. I’m living on.

Religion is for people who fear hell, spirituality is for people who have been there.

You would think that a rock star being married to a super-model would be one of the greatest things in the world. It is.

I was always accused of being cold and unfeeling. It was because I was intimidated about touching people.

Fame can take interesting men and thrust mediocrity upon them.

Never bored, so I’ll never get old.

I always had a repulsive sort of need to be something more than human.

I can ask for cigarettes in every language.

There’s a terror in knowing what the world is about.

You can’t stand still on one point for your entire life.

On the other hand, what I like my music to do to me is awaken the ghosts inside of me. Not the demons, you understand, but the ghosts.

I don’t have stylistic loyalty. That’s why people perceive me changing all the time. But there is a real continuity in my subject matter. As an artist of artifice, I do believe I have more integrity than any one of my contemporaries.

The end comes when the infinites arrive.

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.

I never understood actors who could just wait around.

It’s really, really, really difficult to have the same occupation as the person you’re with – especially when you’re both actors.

To be an actor you have to have a certain amount of madness in you. That’s why, when people meet you and you seem very together, they are quite surprised – they don’t see you behind closed doors.

Part of the reason of being an actor is you like playing other people’s lives and exploring all the psychologies in that and the emotions.

An actor works with their soul and their thought.

When you’re an actor, you’re a slave to other people’s visions.

An actor who’s a control freak, that doesn’t work. We have to be malleable. We cannot come in and try to control or dominate.

It surely gives you a high to be an international actor with quality work.
