I'm English and I'm used to coming from a world of period dramas, where there's a very polite restraint to everything. Everybody's sort of sitting in drawing rooms.

You go back to those films of the '40s and '50s and hear the dialogue, the way the people played off each other, the wordplay. I think we've really lost that in movies.

I just like to keep challenging myself, keep it varied. It's a craft, and I'm constantly trying to learn and get better at it.

Parenthood and family come first for me, and when I'm not working I'm cool with the Teletubbies.

I feel for those 19-year-olds who get thrust into the limelight that young.

It's important to me that everyone is treated with respect.

I always want my options to be open.

Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible.

You won't find a better young actor than Jaeden Lieberher. I ended up having one of the best times with him, really. Going to work with him every day was a treat.

The sexiest part of the body is the eyes. That's what I believe.

I don't think you necessarily identify and believe in the motifs of the character, but you have to want to play it and want to commit to the lines.

We don't fight about music. We don't fight about artistic direction. The things like that we could fight about, we really don't. We are pretty lucky for that.

With each passing day, I didn't lose hope. I fought to have more.

Strategy is all about combining choices of what to do and what not to do into a system that creates the requisite fit between what the environment needs and what the company does.

If you are the light, if your enemies are darkness, then there’s nothing that you cannot justify. There’s nothing you can’t survive, because there’s nothing that you will not do.

I am perhaps unusual in that I came to 'Doctor Who' through the numerous novelisations and not through the television show.

It’s good to have obstacles and difficulties, and to fail and have things not go the way you want. And then have to figure out how to keep moving forward.

I'm living in Los Angeles, I'm in films and I'm on television, and I'm working with actors and telling stories. I'm living the fantasy. My worst day is a great day.

God knows it's a sign of a really sick mind to see grown people, adults with responsibilities, wearing class rings.

I don't like to sound egotistical, but every time I stepped up to the plate with a bat in my hands, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the pitcher.

My advice to a young man seeking deathless fame would be to espouse an unpopular cause and devote his life to it.
