I think people often confuse success with fame and stardom.

The academy awards in England; it's a classy affair as well.

Even if I hadn't have been nominated for an Oscar, to have won the Golden Glove was just fantastic.

I hate that people think going to the theatre is a special occasion. I wish people would treat it as normally as going to the cinema.

I like the enthusiasm but not the insincerity of Los Angeles.

I've done a lot of costume drama and theatre - the National Theatre and In fact, most of my work at the theatre, at the National Theatre anyway, was period.

Anything where people have to work together makes me cry.

Everyone the world over talks about British actors and British talent and I think thats because we were trained - until now - in theatre.

When I left drama school, there were dozens of rep theatres you could apply to where you got a good training.

Before every performance, I think I am about to keel over.

My dad gave me threepence to pay the fine but I spent it on a Wagon Wheel

To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today.

I'm only happy when I forget to exist. When just my eyes or my ears or my skin exist.

Because when he sings...even the birds stop to listen.

Bloom like a flower

A horn of plenty spills from your hands into the starved lives of millions.

I refuse to be silenced.

Do not make excuses, whether it's your fault or not.

Begin nothing without considering what the end may be.

I'm Ric Flair! The Stylin', profilin', limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' n' dealin' son of a gun!

Get off the cross, we need the wood.
