Being part of 'Natural Nylon' is a great way to have an influence on the films that get out there. I love films and it gives me an input.

If youre serious about what youre doing, youve got to keep your head and follow your instinct. Maybe you wont reach the same dizzy heights as others, but you will get something back.

I've never taken myself too seriously, I'm not into that.

I really wouldn't want to live in America. I found New York claustrophobic and dirty. I missed England when I was there, simple things like smells and the British sense of humor.

The whole point of being an actor is to get satisfaction out of a role -- unless you're just vain about celebrity. You're always looking for the one thing that will surprise you.

I'm a pretty happy person, to be honest with you.

I don't want to talk about the specifics of other people's performances compared with my own. I'd never do that.

I consider myself really lucky and I always have done. My approach is that if I know I'm relaxed and happy, then I will do my best work.

I like to play different types roles, but I'd like to do a comedy next.

Facts must be faced. Vegetables simply don't taste as good as most other things do.

He that fears death loses the joys of life.

The most painful moral struggles are not those between good and evil, but between the good and the lesser good.

But if you parry individuals points - a negative and defensive enterprise - you never step back and actively imagine a world in which a different system of ideas could be true - a positive act.

There are plenty of good five-cent cigars in the country. The trouble is they cost a quarter. What this country needs is a good five-cent nickel.

What I usually do is tell funny stories from the road, many of which are, of course, unprintable. But I don't actually have a joke. I don't tell jokes much. I tell little stories.

She 's no chicken; she 's on the wrong side of thirty, if she be a day.

There's nothing better than sinking into my feather pillows after a hard day's work.

I know something quite sure. We'll never have peace with this Syrian regime. They'll never give us relief, and we'll never forget that.
