Everyone the world over talks about British actors and British talent and I think thats because we were trained - until now - in theatre.

The academy awards in England; it's a classy affair as well.

Even if I hadn't have been nominated for an Oscar, to have won the Golden Glove was just fantastic.

I hate that people think going to the theatre is a special occasion. I wish people would treat it as normally as going to the cinema.

I think people often confuse success with fame and stardom.

I like the enthusiasm but not the insincerity of Los Angeles.

I've done a lot of costume drama and theatre - the National Theatre and In fact, most of my work at the theatre, at the National Theatre anyway, was period.

Anything where people have to work together makes me cry.

When I left drama school, there were dozens of rep theatres you could apply to where you got a good training.

Before every performance, I think I am about to keel over.

My dad gave me threepence to pay the fine but I spent it on a Wagon Wheel

The light of God's love makes us unique personalities

The heart is like a bird: love as its head and its two wings are hope and fear.

Bury us, and mark our names above. Let us be free.

No matter how lovesick a woman is she shouldn't take the first pill that comes along.

We are not at peace with others because we are not at peace with ourselves, and we are not at peace with ourselves because we are not at peace with God.

The superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the ability that he has.

If I had a worldview, and I don't know if I do,but if I did, it's one that's intensely humanistic.

Is there a mechanism of death, that so mutilates existence no one, gets over it not even the dead?

I am myself: a light. In me you find your fate. So be not blind to the truth shining from my glow.

Let us live in the harness, striving mightily.
