I don't think you can decide how famous or not you become.

I like Scottish people because they feel very true. They're always level and straight. They get a reputation for being hardened because of it, but I find them to be scrupulously honest people.

I'm a terrible dancer.

I think that what drives most of us as human beings is the want for something. You might have a hope, or a big dream, or a goal that you haven't yet achieved.

Edinburgh is so cultural and such a beautiful place to walk around.

The image of all the cars leaving pastel-colored people at the same time has never really left me as an anti-ambition for life!

I really admire artists who take the time to recharge their batteries and not continually call on it. I think you can spot tired and jaded artists quite quickly.

I don't really use the Internet or the newspapers to find out about people.

I'll tell you, there's no goodies and baddies in the world, there's just people with intentions that sometimes clash.

I really love living in cities where the people living above, below and next to you are from totally different worlds to you.

As more good Knowledge you get as more quality life you can achieve.

Some people are born to hold keys, while others are born to use them.

The back of my hand to guilt.

Very few writers really know what they are doing until they have done it.

Studios never put pressure. They know the kind of films I want to make.

I find skydiving really hard. I broke my back while skydiving when I was in the military, and for 18 months all my nightmares were about falling.

We are one species. We are starstuff.

To survive, humans will work together. Accept each other. For a moment, we are all equal. Backs against the wall, human beings are at their finest.

What works for the person you're imitating may not work for you.

Cunning is only the mimic of discretion, and may pass upon weak men in the same manner as vivacity is often mistaken for wit, and gravity for wisdom.
