When you take away the phone and e-mail and you don't have a million things to run around to, it allows your mind the space to think more expansively about the things that matter.

I never imagined it wouldn't work out for me. I had that absolute certainty in myself that has seen me through, I think, and my parents were absolutely behind me all the way.

Above all things I believe in love.

My heart aches completely, every hour, every day, and only when I'm with you does the pain go away.

Then, one day, when you least expect it, the great adventure finds you.

The beautiful thing about it is that no two directors or actors work the same way. You also learn not to be afraid of discussion and conflict.

I want to wear skinny jeans when I'm in my 70s. Why not? Who cares?

I really want to play Princess Leia. Stick some big pastries on my head. Now, that would be interesting.

...as an actor there's nothing better than a great moody moment to play with nothing to say. It's so much easier to do because you can really get inside your head.

Most people do not really want others to have freedom of speech, they just want others to be given the freedom to say want they want to hear.

Love, one way or the other, in whatever form, matters every moment in life.

If I were a maker of perfumes, I would make one and call it 'Spring,' and it would smell like this cool, sweet, early-morning air.

The success of an intervention depends on the interior condition of the intervenor.

Doing nothing is sometimes one of the highest of the duties of man.

I think every child in every country, not just South Africa, every year should go to a national park, and it should be part of their basic curriculum.

I miss it, I miss it, I miss it, I make it.

I eat right, I sleep, I work out, I'm happy. I have a beautiful family, nice friends. I choose the good things. I choose the happy, healthy things. I don't choose the bad, unhealthy, unhappy things.

Even today, skiffle is a defining part of my music. If I get the opportunity to just have a jam, skiffle is what I love to play.
