As time went on, I did campaign to lighten the character a little bit, to introduce some romance into the episodes, outside activities, horse riding and fencing and mountaineering.

The people who could do most to improve the situation of so many women and children are in fact, men.

Violence is never ever a choice that a man should make.

I wouldn't know a space-time continuum or warp core breach if they got into bed with me.

I wasn't campaigning for a role in a Hollywood television series, it was a fluke. So you've got to have a measure of good luck, you really have, being in the right place at the right time.

Having spent so much of my life with Shakespeare’s world, passions and ideas in my head and in my mouth, he feels like a friend—someone who just went out of the room to get another bottle of wine.

Anybody can be a halfway man, but the one who rises above this class is the one who keeps everlastingly pushing.

We're no longer slaves to fear. That doesn't mean we're emotionless now, or never face fear, it just means we don't have to obey it.

The short of it is, as an aspiring writer, there is nothing as damaging to your credibility as saying that you don't like to read.
