I woke with a start. At first I assumed I'd trumped myself awake again.

I did not become successful in my work through embracing or engaging in celebrity culture. I never signed away my privacy in exchange for success.

If you chase something too desperately, it eludes you.

When I was a student I was very, very ambitious, completely immersed in my comedy career. I never had that period of reckless hedonism that you should get out of your system in your youth.

I don't like big feet. It reminds me of gammon.

If things don't come easy to you, you have to pull a rabbit out of a hat.

Me, myself, personally, I like to keep myself private. I have never said I am a paragon of virtue, a model of morality. I simply do what I do.

The truth is somewhere in the middle of funny and serious.

I think if you try to look for something to show off as an actor, vanity can get the better of you.

I am of the very last generation who didn't have computers at school. As we grow old we'll become something of an aberration.

Sometimes strange fiction, becomes grim reality.

Being highly invested and preoccupied by an emotionally consuming mission tends to steal resources from other aspects of your emotional life.

If you want things to be right, you have to do them yourself

The end never justifies the means because there is no end; there are only means.

Fight on land and sea All men want to be free If they don't never mind we'll abolish all mankind

The life of entire surrender is a joyous life all along the way.

I'm not a big internet guy - not because I'm not interested in what people have to say, but probably because I'm too interested.
