I hope to have more time to think, to look at the sky, dealing with less crisis management, to learn another language, to travel.

Sometimes I think it'd be fun to do a completely different job for a while. You've got one life and you do the same job for the whole of it, and you think - was that a good use of a life?

I have a wardrobe full of expensive clothes, but wear the same two T-shirts. I've never found a look.

It is intensely frustrating. The longer you live, the more interesting life gets, and yet many of the parts involve carrying trays and putting lamb chops down in front of the leading man.

I often wrangle with myself as an actor, and wrestle with the process. In striving for authenticity I often have the feeling I am falling short.

I often don't feel like the person I look like.

I wanted to be the conduit for somebody else's experiences, filtered through me, and passed on to other people. Which is the job description, really.

I'd rather be useful than rich. It's more essential to feel you're doing something that's worth doing, rather than making a lot of money.

In our own, theatre can be the place where we come together, reaching with and through stories, to who we are and to who we can be.

I do understand that onstage there are times when you think, 'I could not be more alive than I am at this moment. I can't do most things in life. This is what I'm for.'

I'm hardly Hollywood material - they're interested in youth and perfection and I lay no claims to either. It's not a place that's particularly interested in talent.

Don't believe a man will give you the world if he doesn't even buy you flowers.

Luckily, I don't think that I'm too famous. I can still live my life pretty comfortably. Fame has never really ever appealed to me. I think it's easy to see that it's not a great thing to have.

Kings govern by popular assemblies only when they cannot do without them.

I just found out that I'm one inch taller than I thought.

A lot of my social media posts are about celebrating these women who wear our clothes, feel great in them and have comments.

The art of conducting consists in knowing when to stop conducting to let the orchestra play.

The best conversation with Stanley Kubrick is a silent one: you sit in a theatre and watch his films and you learn so much.

Could rivalry be a productive system?

When anyone escapes, my heart / leaps up. Even when it's I who am escaped from, / I am half on the side of the leaver.

brb, ttyl ok? wow, i saved a 'ton' of time with those acronyms.
