All roads lead home in the end. You've got to keep that in mind always - in your work and in your life.

I was the classic middle child in some ways, the one who could have been a priest in an alternate universe.

I like to disappear into a role. I equate the success of it with a feeling of being chemically changed.

Ive just tried to keep my eyes open, tried to read everything you can, and tried to see whether I see myself within it. If I do, then I can get excited about it.

The only way to be an actor is to find ways to work as an actor, even if that means doing a one-man show by a river.

When I first had my eyebrows waxed, I was pretty disturbed.

It's a strange thing, but you get this click in your brain; the wonderful feeling that the entirety of a character is suddenly available and accessible to you.

I started working as an actor, semi-professionally, when I was 16, and got my first professional gig at 19. I guess I've kind of worked pretty consistently since then.

Ive always liked the idea of being a father. And Ive always romanticised it, because I lost my father when I was young. In a way, all of the complications that come with my career are about that.

All men should be feminists. If men care about women’s rights the world will be a better place. We are better off when women are empowered – it leads to a better society.

But new love only lasts so long, and then you crash back into the real people you are, and from as high as we were, it's a very long fall, and we hit the ground with a thud.

You can't hold firewalls and intrusion detection systems accountable. You can only hold people accountable.

I tell young people all the time because they think I'm an overnight success I've been doing this for over 20 years! And that means inspiring and motivating people.

I am a gift of joy that God gives to a wonderful world.

Truth quenches untruth, love quenches anger, self-suffering quenches violence. This eternal rule is a rule not for saints only but for all.

...in the third epoch the divinity of man's creative nature is finally revealed and divine power becomes human power.

Looking back, I think I was always musical. My dad was very musical, and I think my mom was musical.

It makes no difference how many peaks you reach if there was no pleasure in the climb.

. . . denn da ist keine Stelle, die dich nicht sieht. Du musst dein Leben andern. (... for there is no place that does not see you. You must change your life.)
