Being a part-time pop star was perfect, really, when I wasn't worn out by the partying.

When I was a kid doing television, they'd stick a leather jacket on me, and I would be the thug.

I used to go into bars on my days off, and I decided that wasn't too good for me.

I found that golf saved me from going to the pub every day so instead I play golf with other unemployed actors. I'm a member of the Stage Golfing Society and I play golf with all sorts of people.

I grew up near King's Cross station in London, living in an apartment block where my dad was a caretaker.

It's great to do small plays in the theatre and then go off with Blur and play in front of thousands of people.

Doing 'EastEnders' wasn't exactly suffering, but my soul's not in quick-fix TV. Theatre doesn't pay like TV work pays, though. We all have to live, don't we?

I get on with actors, and when I'm doing a theatre show, it's great being with them all the time. But we're all alike, and it's much nicer being with people who are different.

I had a weimaraner for 11 years called China, and he was a great dog, a bit mad. They're massive, weimaraners; they've got big floppy ears. They look like a pointer, but they're liver-coloured.

I'm famous for being a silky midfielder.

We all have an old knot in the heart we wish to untie.

I act with full responsibility and after extensive reflection.

Reports by Politico, Bloomberg and other news outlets have raised inconsistencies in Melania Trump's immigration story.

I hunt deer because I love the entire process; the preparation, the excitement, and sustained suspense of trying to match my woods lore against the finely honed instincts of these creatures.

Where all of the man is what property he owns, it does not take long to annihilate him.

Life is like a Ferrari, it goes too fast. But that's ok, because you can't afford it anyway.

Emphasize the best, and minimize the rest

Haste is productive of injury, and so is too much hesitation. He is the wisest man who does everything at the proper time.

Discernment is a power of the understanding in which few excel. Is not that owing to its connection with impartiality and truth? for are not prejudice and partiality blind?

We need more cartoonists to truly retire when they retire, and not run repeats.
