I don't think anyone expected me to get the BAFTA. The bookies didn't have me down. It's definitely made a huge difference in my career, but I don't dwell on it.

I'm just who I am. I don't try to change myself for other people.

I'm a nice guy to anyone I meet, until they show me they don't deserve niceness. I'll turn very quickly. But I'm pretty pleasant overall.

People can criticise me all day long. It just washes off me. You might as well be talking to a wall.

I don't like doing things that are too easy.

I'd always much rather be second choice on anything because it makes you work harder.

You have to show the negative to show the positivity that comes from it.

I think most people, no matter their status now, have big screen TVs, because they're the standard TVs now. And so why would you go to the cinema?

I was offered and accepted a part in 'A Few Best Men,' and then the Australian actor's union argued that there were too many British actors. And the director decided to lose me.

Let's start doing new and different things that enable us all to grow as a film culture and a community in total.

Help others without any reason and give without the expectation of receiving anything in return.

Every success won is a motivation to the next level of success.

They are happy men whose natures sort with their vocations.

We all have a role to play - the President, Congress, parents, students and schools - in making college affordable and keeping the middle class dream alive.

Happy persons seldom think of happiness. They are too busy losing their lives in the meaningful sacrifices of service.

We can only see what our brain’s filter allows through.

It's a miracle I was able to get out of the house today. It's a miracle I'm even wearing pants, a double miracle I remembered to wear shoes.

I think a few hundred years from now we'll start having the 'posthuman' era of different species.

Men are generally more careful of the breed of their horses and dogs than of their children.

Believe in your passions and act on them.
