I must say I've rarely been described as 'diplomat.

I'd have described myself as a Tolkien reader before this, but now I'd describe myself as a Tolkien geek.

I can't bear shopping. I can choose clothes for my characters, but not for myself. I've got no dress sense. Or I've lost it.

I never like to go out of character when filming starts. I fear that if I do, I might not be able to pick it up again.

Do people really think that about my nose? I spent my whole life hating it, so its amusing that people like it!

I have a bit of pride, which is always my downfall.

I think if I had come out of drama school and been an instant Hollywood superstar, I would be taking long, leisurely holidays.

I'm not interested in building wealth, which is kind of naive and probably frowned on, living in America. It's something that people don't necessarily understand, but if I die poor, I die poor.

Whatever I lack in talent I have in stamina.

I love being grungy and dirty.

The problem with me is I read everything, but it's only the bad stuff that stays with me. It's weird, you only need to be told something once and it stays with you.

Bentley mounted Silverwood, look down at his parents, and launched the powerful steed into the kingdom…a kingdom waiting for one young knight to discover the truth of a Stranger.

You have to experience real life before you can understand what it means to really worship. That's it.

I drink this [whiskey glass] and I'm just another JBL? you don't get it, I'm not like you. I'm not JBL, I'm CM Punk! Sometimes it's what you don't do that makes you who you are.

There are foods that accelerate aging and entropy, and others that renew and revitalise the body.

For the ANC to cry 'sabotage' the night before crucial local government elections shows just how desperate they are to disguise their incompetence and mismanagement.

When I hear a grown man or woman say, "Once I had faith in men, now I have not," I am inclined to ask, "Who are you whom the world has disappointed? Have not you rather disappointed the world?"

Whatever white people do not know about Negroes reveals, precisely and inexorably, what they do not know about themselves.

It's hard to make a living in music, so a lot of times in the arts it's safer to kind of fit into a box.

It's really sad to me that we even have to talk about diversity in the fashion world today. That I would love to change. Diversity should be normal.

No matter how rich you are, you cannot transport yourself to the future or the past.
