I was a bit of a show-off in school and loved playing dress-up, and my passion for it just grew as I got older.

A person can't know what happiness is without experiencing sadness. And I think that's healthy.

My mum is a school teacher and my dad is an electrician.

I was a show-off as a kid and loved to dress up. I was constantly in costume, drawing mustaches on with eyeliner and letting my sister plait my hair and all that.

I went to the Avengers: Age of Ultron and I'm like, "These guys are Olympians now." There's no place for a Walter Matthau in a movie anymore.

I had this alter ego where I would go to the theater with mom. I wasn't embarrassed by it; it was separate for me.

I've always played sport. I played rugby, I was involved in athletics, I played cricket... I'm an outdoors kind of guy.

I'm not someone who has a lengthy attention span, and that applies to my exercise routine as well.

I was always realistic about the fact I wanted to be involved with big films.

When you're working with people you've seen in hundreds of films... it's a bit crazy to step outside yourself for a minute and think, 'This is surreal.' But I try not to get too bogged down in that.

I started coming to L.A. as often as I could, for three months on and three months off, because immigration kicks you out after 90 days.

It is dangerous to become useless to God

Innocence has a grace which intelligence lacks!

Orthodoxy is the death of intelligence.

Whether or not we follow any particular spiritual tradition, the benefits of love and kindness are obvious to anyone.

This is a movement like nobody's ever seen in this country before. Even our enemies admit that. We're going to make history together.

I'm going to be in another city when my kids are teenagers. I'll be like, 'Give me a call when you're done with all that.'

It's irrelevant who or what directed a movie; the important thing is that you either respond to it or you don't.

I don't think I'm unusual in preferring my laptop to be thin and light.

I disapprove of lots of decisions made by George Bush: the war, the meddling in the affairs of other countries, the conversations with dictators; it was a dark time.
