I kind of liked all the creeping stuff [in Fifty Shades Darker], like when they're sleeping and there's me just standing behind the bed. It was great.

I think for me, home needs to be a sanctuary. I need to feel like I've escaped the day when I get home.

All on-set kisses are weird, no matter who it is, especially with people standing around coughing and sneezing. It's very uncomfortable!

I collect skulls; I think that a beautiful skull is a really good gift for a guy.

I have a bit of a lava lamp fetish. They are kind of hideous, but there is something so therapeutic about them.

I first got into acting when I was about 12. I started doing speech and drama lessons. All my friends were doing it at the time and my dad encouraged it. He encouraged any extracurricular activity.

Particularly on social media, there is that level of detachment, some people feel like they can say whatever pops in their head .

Acting is different all the time. When you're on set, different films, or just even in between, it's never the same. I think that's one of the things I love about it.

I'm always listening to music to pump myself up.

I was a huge nerd in high school. Sure, I socialized - but I was definitely a nerd.

My style icon has always been my mom. I feel like she was always sophisticated and effortless and looked really well put together without trying too hard.

Life is transition.

There is a crisis of leadership and governance in Africa, and we must face it.

I think we should all be tolerant of each other and embrace each others' strengths and differences and uniqueness and beauty.

Always tell the truth and be true.

I lived in a house in the East Bronx, a totally Jewish neighborhood on East 172nd Street. You didn't see Christians much, although one lived next door. We thought they were kind of a minority.

Fear is like fire; it can be helpful if you know how to use. If not, you'll get burned.

Never ask for anything! Never for anything, and especially from those who are stronger than you. They'll make the offer themselves, and give everything themselves.

Don't let any obstacle stop you. Always remember that you have spiritual and mental qualities within you that can overcome even the seemingly impossible.

It's an odd thing, but anyone who disappears is said to be seen in San Francisco. It must be a delightful city and possess all the attractions of the next world
