I like to be working and moving - the worst thing you can do to me is stick me in a room all day while you're lighting a shot. That just kills me.

I've really enjoyed my work in television, but the problem for me is the turnover of directors every week.

I rant and rave about noise pollution.

Acting, the arts in general, is a magnet for the wounded of society.

It's much more fun to be ugly.

I'd totally be attracted to a geek girl!

I want to keep audiences off balance, so they don't know who I am or how to take me. If I duck and weave, as Frank Bruno might say, I'll have a longer shelf life.

I owe my father everything.

I've always believed that as an actor anything you're asked to do is within you. You just have to try and find it.

Hunger's a great spur.

I used to be a rabid reader, but now it's scripts or nothing - network television is quite relentless, and you can't drop the ball.

I wish I knew how to calibrate my kiss the way he did but passion allows us to hide more.

Creative is my god. Technology my cherished lover.

Paintings are too hard. The things I want to show are mechanical. Machines have less problems. I'd like to be a machine, wouldn't you?

The mother of useful arts is necessity; that of the fine arts is luxury. For father the former has intellect; the latter genius, which itself is a kind of luxury.

For the record, knowing when people are only pretending to like you isn't such a great skill to have.

Government is about stealing and nothing else. That's all it's ever been about. That's all it'll ever be about.

Remember that what you believe will depend very much on what you are.

I get to be goofy and quirky and sweet at the same time.

Sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.
