I had this alter ego where I would go to the theater with mom. I wasn't embarrassed by it; it was separate for me.

A person can't know what happiness is without experiencing sadness. And I think that's healthy.

I was a bit of a show-off in school and loved playing dress-up, and my passion for it just grew as I got older.

My mum is a school teacher and my dad is an electrician.

I was a show-off as a kid and loved to dress up. I was constantly in costume, drawing mustaches on with eyeliner and letting my sister plait my hair and all that.

I went to the Avengers: Age of Ultron and I'm like, "These guys are Olympians now." There's no place for a Walter Matthau in a movie anymore.

I've always played sport. I played rugby, I was involved in athletics, I played cricket... I'm an outdoors kind of guy.

I'm not someone who has a lengthy attention span, and that applies to my exercise routine as well.

I was always realistic about the fact I wanted to be involved with big films.

When you're working with people you've seen in hundreds of films... it's a bit crazy to step outside yourself for a minute and think, 'This is surreal.' But I try not to get too bogged down in that.

I started coming to L.A. as often as I could, for three months on and three months off, because immigration kicks you out after 90 days.

The secret and the sacred are sisters. When the secret is not respected, the sacred vanishes. Consequently, reflection should not shine too severe or aggressive a light on the world of the soul.

I am my own self.

The artist says to the cosmos: All I ask is infinite love-is that so very wrong? And the cosmos doesn't even bother to respond.

But while success and failure depend on conditions, the mind neither waxes nor wanes.

I believe serious progress (in the abolition of war) can be achieved only when men become organized on an international scale and refuse, as a body, to enter military or war service.

Intercession remains the unrivaled master in fulfilling the Great Commission.

Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.

It often happens that what stares us in the face is the most difficult to perceive.

We have to protect America. So I'm all for finding out how in the world this stuff is happening and so that we can put systems in place to protect Americans.

Love amazes, but it does not surprise.
