Iceland, I'm in love with that country, the people are incredible.

The best people to have power are the ones who don't want it.

I love acting and I know that's a cliché, but I didn't really, I was very naïve when it came to the whole being recognized thing.

When you're a lead role, I'm learning that you set a tone for the movie in a way, like a director does, or like other actors do. But it seems like you set a mood on set.

I love going out. I love partying.

I just don't know anything about fashion.

Politics is a game and a profession. It doesn't really serve the people the politicians are supposed to serve.

You find with the really great actors, the ones you really admire and look up to, very often they're very giving, generous, warm people.

It's a nightmare if you're working with someone you don't get on with, especially if you have to be in love with them.

I'm very much a "that's so obvious, I must not mention it" kind of guy.

I love action. I love doing fight scenes, I always have.

I want to question societal norms, encourage people to think in new ways.

In any country where there is a dishonorable government, there is certainly a dishonorable nation!

There is tremendous inequity in Hollywood and politics, and I would say globally it's challenging to be a woman and succeed.

He doesn't marry a woman who is perfect. He marries the woman who is interesting.

Behold, my friends, the spring is come; the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of their love!

Do I need to be liked? Absolutely not. I like to be liked. I enjoy being liked. I have to be liked. But it's not like a compulsive need to be liked. Like my need to be praised.
