If I were dictator, I'd have a catch-all crime of disrespect.

I've had a year out of work, more, and just toughed it out. There are those who think that all actors are overpaid. I beg to differ.

Broadway has the most savvy audience anywhere. They see everything and they know their theater. As sophisticated and subtle as you think you can be, the houses you get here will want something finer.

I hated my childhood. It was loathsome. My parents were deaf and dumb. Profoundly so. They could make noises when they were emotionally aroused, but they couldn't form it into speech.

I know I have this kind of teaching element in me, but I don't want to become a 'teacher of theater' because that would formalize something that I'd much rather keep casual.

I've got this terrible hernia. People think it's a fat gut, but it's not.

I trained as an artist originally, so I know what a nice human body looks like, and I would like to look like that notion, and of course I never will. But I've got past that.

Actors do have good and bad sides. It's because the passage down the birth canal distorts the face. People born by caesarean section are more symmetrical.

I've always hated the way I looked, and I've never complained about my brains.

My vanity is not remotely physical, it is cerebral. I suppose feeling self-conscious might be a form of vanity, though.

It's been the most astonishing year because I've been having a marvelous adventure, and yet I kind of sympathize with people who have to live in exile, because I've so missed England.

I'm just Phil from Rossendale. And now people are screaming for me 'cause I make YouTube videos - it's just crazy!

I just got my signals crossed. First thing, I have to untangle the connections. Otherwise, I come away empty-handed. Or with someone else's hands. Or even with a missing hand.

The world began in hazard and will end in it.

I've seen so many period pieces in my life, I really enjoy them so much, a lot of my favorite movies are period pieces.

Love, friendship and respect do not unite people as much as common hatred for something.

I'm scared of everything. I think it's only sensible to be that way.

Its very seldom you get paid for doing what you love and telling the truth at the same time. It seems they dont often coincide.

I write scripts to serve as skeletons awaiting the flesh and sinew of images.

You never really know what's going to happen. You never know what the audience is going to be like or how they're going to behave.

Love is in the giver, not the gift.
