I don't like crowds or attention.

I love those connections that make this big old world feel like a little village.

I'm not really that keen on mainstream; I'm not interested in doing the normal films. I do tend to go for the quirky, different scripts.

When you shoot on high-definition, everything is very sharp and clear, sometimes at the cost of losing dimension and depth of field.

Any friendship or relationship is about a language.

Every name in a TV show has to be run by the legal department first.

Every person has parallel tracks. You have your personal life or your life as an artist, or whatever it is you do.

The only time I get recognised is when I go somewhere that is showing 'Coupling' on local television.

It's always fun messing around with costumes and stuff. You know there is an element of acting that you've got to dress-up; that's part of it.

I took part in two 'Leverage' conventions. Fans fly in from as far as Russia and Australia. It's expensive to attend.

I am a big comedy fan, having been in 'Coupling.'

No one is perfect till you make some feel you are perfect

John Huston was a superb master. He knew how to make good films. I did three things with him. One is called Independence. It plays in Philadelphia, for free. It's been playing there for 25 years.

All my life I've had the privilege to make my living with my imagination, and the most important thing has been to see my creative life grow. I was educated to do that and have lived accordingly.

I feel like a lot of my past career was going to film school, making a lot of different kinds of movies. I made a bunch of comedies, I made one drama and I made a couple musicals.

I came to teaching late - not until my forties - which is one reason why I'm not burned out.

Them belly full, but we hungry; A hungry mob is a angry mob.

We just have to have the courage to turn against our habitual lifestyle and engage in unconventional living.

Look, don't judge Christianity by the imperfect examples that we have seen in history. Judge it by Jesus Christ.

I'll tell you the secret. When you begin with a character, you want to begin by creating a villain.

Journalists cover words and delude themselves into thinking they have committed journalism.
