Logic doesn't really provide for loyalty. If your logic changes suddenly and things not make sense, you can alter your allegiance, but love stops you from being able to do that.

It's weird, because usually if you're British and you go to America you play baddies; but I play naughty people here and goodies in America.

The only way one can guarantee one's loyalty is love. Loyalty is beyond logic, really.

I have an interest in giving people a cathartic experience, and making them look at homeless people differently, and making them question how they judge people, in general.

I have no interest in movies that take you somewhere dark and leave you there, for no reason.

I find that our response to homelessness really puzzlingly. It's a peculiar response that people have.

I feel safe in saying this, and that is that Peter Weir is without a doubt one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. I'd open a door in a movie for him if he asked me to.

I was brought up Catholic. I'm lapsed. From the age of three I was with the nuns. Now I'm an atheist.

Up until like five seconds ago, I just took what jobs came along.

I'm a guy who is married to an actress, who has three children, and lives in Tribeca. Where do you draw the line on what I am allowed to discuss?

I still read the British papers, but I’ve never been a Royalist, ever. It’s funny, there always seems to be much more of a fascination with the Royal Family over here then there does in England.

If you you write with enough assurance and confidence, you’re allowed to do whatever you like. So write your story as it needs to be written. Write it honestly, and tell it as best you can.

You can't always choose which. Sometimes you have to BE which.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

I think fearless is having fears but jumping anyway.

I lost my job, well I didn't lose it, I know where it is, there's just some other guy doing it now.

I believe in terms of the work that I do, in establishing dialogue about race relations in Latin America, steps on one of the most relevant themes today.

I'm guessing that musicals didn't make sense anymore because of the changes in the political environment that began in the late Sixties, an era of self-awareness and social revolutions.

Worry not that no one knows you; seek to be worth knowing.

Humans need to be a multiplanet species.

A good man is willing to know the worst of himself, and particularly under affliction, desires to be told wherefore God contends with him and what God designs in correcting him.
