Liverpool has always made me brave, choice-wise. It was never a city that criticised anyone for taking a chance.

Savannah is amazing with the town squares and the hanging moss and the French Colonial houses. It's brutally romantic.

'Evil' is quite a blanket term. People aren't the demonic characters we would like them to be sometimes.

I think I’m quite a lazy person, actually. If I’m not careful, I could just stay in bed all day.

I'd really like to get on a Greyhound bus and go backpacking across America.

We have one life and we should cherish it and make it the best we can.

Nothing is my guiltiest pleasure. I love it. I love doing it. I love planning to do it, I love loafing and pottering and chilling and daydreaming.

I think when you don't know where you stand with someone, they can surprise you in their goodness and their badness, and that makes them human.

In all honesty, we all want our fantasy selves to be the best people. We all think in a time of crisis, we will react heroically and with humanity.

I always try to put myself in the way of surprise as much as possible. My ambition is to keep challenging myself. I like that journey of discovery.

When you are an actor, rejection and disappointment are an occupational hazard.

We form our impression not globally, by placing ourselves in the broadest possible context, but locally, by comparing ourselves to people in the same boat as ourselves.

My dignity and good television - they'll never meet.

If I'm killed - if I'm removed - there is nowhere else for me to go but to my ancestors.

If we succeed, it makes no sense to keep it only for ourselves.

Give shape, artist! don't talk! Your poem be but a breath.

I'm, like, a real nerd, in that I will take a book that is three inches thick and disappear and not leave until it's done.

Communication is the universal solvent.

It is sweet to feel by what fine spun threads our affections are drawn together.

I've never gotten up to see something one of my kids wanted to show me and not been rewarded.

I really like pop music, I don't think it's a four-letter word.
