Like my dad, I have a Christmas party most years. I like to celebrate and see as many people as possible.

Perspective is the most important thing to have in life.

Belly buttons are cool!

Today is the day you have to start believing in yourself. No one can do it for you anymore.

I must work harder to achieve my goal of not seeking approval from those whose approval I'm not even sure is important to me.

Be truthful, say what you mean and mean what you say, don't ignore the given circumstances.

I have to introduce the part of me that feels like a winner to the part of me convinced I’m a loser, and see if they can’t agree to exist somewhere closer to the middle.

You may be sensitive inside, but what I see on the outside is a soldier.

Growing up an only child with a single parent is probably why I'm an actor.

I've spent a lot of time wondering, What's going to happen? What's going to happen? I try not to allow myself to do that much anymore. I think ive gotten more comfortable with the unknown.

My mother had lived in London since I was little, so she never got to see my school plays and stuff.

Why is it that married people always say "Come in" when everything they do says "Get out"? They talk about their miseries and then ask you why you're unmarried.

I thought about you all the time. I used to pray that you’d live to be a hundred years old. I didn’t know. I didn’t know that you were ashamed of me.

Clare seems so pleased with the idea of me as a pirate that she forgets that I am Stranger Danger.

The sea hates a coward.

There are no small parts. Only small actors.

It is a good thing to make mistakes so long as you're found out quickly.

That was the way with grief: it left you alone for months together until you thought that you were cured, and then without warning it blotted out the sunlight.

Sun lighting a child's hair. A friend's embrace. Slow dancing in a safe and quiet place. The pleasures of an ordinary life.

It's hard to balance work and family.

Maybe when it comes to my music, or my performances, I'm a little more aggressive because I want everything to be perfect. But not in normal, day-to-day life.
