We had no idea that this show [Daredevil] would be as popular as it was, but with the benefit of hindsight, one thing I can say is that I think that was a really, really smart move.

All we can do now is try to prevent secondary damage by relieving pressure on the brain caused by the initial injury. There is no reparative treatment for traumatic brain injury.

It's very, very tempting to make a superhero film or show and make it about the powers.

I am incredibly self-deprecating. It stems from self-doubt.

It's so easy to become obsessed with the film industry and recognition that we can forget that we are not saving the world. We are just actors trying to entertain people.

What the writers do, and we hopefully can bring to life, is that they present characters who, on the surface, aren't always heroic and their acts aren't always devoid of selfishness.

I love New York, but I have to admit that I feel very English, and I do miss that sense of history that you have everywhere in Britain.

To truly be satisfied in life, you must invest your time into doing what you were born to do instead of wasting your time trying to impress a boss or a company doing a job that you were not born for.

The best mirror is an old friend.

I love movies.

That's good; don't deny it. Denying the undeniable just makes you sound like a fool as well as a liar. In this profession, you can be one- sometimes the other. But never both.

At six I lived in a graveyard full of dolls, avoiding myself, my body, the suspect in its grotesque house.

When I have people around, I'm a chatterbox. But when I'm alone, I never speak. I don't talk to myself; it's just not my schtick.

It is very likely that many firms spend more on advertising than, for their own best interests, they should.

I'm just a citizen temporarily in public service.

These patients have turned away from outer reality; it is for this reason that they are more aware than we of inner reality and can reveal to us things which without them would remain impenetrable.

Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started.
