When I go home, the last thing I want to do is read about the popular lore of vampires.

Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once and it's too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst.

I felt pride, wonderful pride, when I was captain. It was an honour to take over from Labby. Anybody who has ever captained a big club, which Everton are, will tell you it's a great honour.

Directing is physically exciting because there's a ticking clock, you're working with people, it's very social, it's very enjoyable.

Once Everton has touched you, nothing will be the same.

We live in a time where there's an alienation factor. There's a certain disconnection. We don't have any real sense of community anymore.

It's a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself. Makes you wonder what else you can do that you've forgotten about.

I would say try to tell stories that you care about as opposed to stories that you think will sell.

I believe forgiveness is possible for everybody, for everything, but I'm a Buddhist.

I'm from the South, so while I personally find it impossible to live there, I still have a fondness for it as a geographical region.

I'm a Buddhist, so one of my biggest beliefs is, 'Everything changes, don't take it personally.'

Writing starts with living.

So long as we have enough people in this country willing to fight for their rights, we'll be called a democracy.

I’ve elected to age gracefully.

I sent a lot of ladies to the hospital. If you go and look at my record, a lot of the people I knocked out never fought again, or maybe one time and that was it.

Sometimes I'll say, wow, that's going be a great story, and I get killed.

There are always four sides to a story: your side, their side, the truth and what really happened.

I think it would do a lot of people good just to realize how vulnerable they are.

Climate change is also clearly a matter of huge interest and concern for the scientific community.

For me, because I've had classical theater training, when people say, "Oh, my god, the play is amazing!," I'll never get to see it because I'm in it.

What you decide not to do is probably more important that what you decide to do.
