I keep myself amused and others confused
Looking for happiness is a sure way to sadness, I think. You have to take each moment as it comes.
If you can't fail, you can never get better.
Enjoy the journey of life and not just the endgame. I'm also a great believer in treating others as you would like to be treated.
The further you get away from yourself, the more challenging it is. Not to be in your comfort zone is great fun.
People always want to knock you when you're up.
Live a life less ordinary.
I can feel infinitely alive curled up on the sofa reading a book.
You come into this world as you leave it, on your own. It's made me want to live a life slightly less ordinary.
That's something I have to work on: to separate what really matters, to conserve energy by not worrying about what other people think.
If you have an over-preoccupation with perception and trying to please people's expectations, then you can go mad.
Pull the hair on my head the wrong way, and I would be on my knees begging for mercy. I have very sensitive follicles.
When auditioning, I try to imagine that I'm the only person that they [directors] are seeing that day because it can be overwhelming, in the same sense that it could be overwhelming if you try to fulfil everyone's expectations rather than the people closest to you in the creative process, be it your director, or fellow actors and the writers. So, that's kind of it - I try to trick myself into believing that no one has ever gone there before.
We have a lot more unlikely heroes now. It’s not just the guy with guns—it’s the guy with brains.
I've been reading the books. It's the origination, it's the primary source. You should always go back to the books.
Not that i had a big arse but even that was toned.
Our daily lives are so mundane, we get taken over by what is immediately in front of us and we don't see beyond that.
It still makes me giggle that I'm paid to act.
You have to sometimes just run with the problem rather than trying to solve it with hi-tech wizardry and lots of planning.
Enjoy the journey of life and not just the endgame.
I'm not very geeky. I'm quite homespun. I would say I'm more modern rustic than gadget-orientated. I like woollen things and log fires and whiskey
Mystique is rare now, isn't it? There aren't that many enigmas in this modern world.
Fame is a weird one. You need to distance yourself from it. People see a value in you that you don't see yourself.
Because reading is one of the joys of life, and once you begin, you can't stop, and you've got so many stories to look forward to.
I'm a high-functioning sociopath, do your research.
