I still collect comics. I still have a great love and respect for the genre.

To me, it's the kiss of death when you start winking at the audience as an actor. I just never liked it. I don't like it when we do monologues, looking into the character.

Most of my career up until the last couple of years has basically been a training ground for me. Actors that came up in the '50s and '60s, they had the theater, and television was in its infancy.

I think what makes us human is our interconnectedness among people. It's our ability to form and maintain relationships. It's the barometer by which we call ourselves human.

My dad was an entrepreneurial businessman, and maybe I got some of his ability.

I spent a lot of years just learning my craft and falling down in front of the camera.

If I stay alert, then I can challenge myself, and by challenging myself, that helps me to stay alive and to hopefully take something away from the experience.

Earlier on in my career I felt that I had to hide behind a lot of different masks, and showboat ways of performing. Now, that's a lie. The less I have to hide, the less I have to act.

I think all good drama is funny. All the best drama is ultimately very funny. Life is funny. You can't have any honest treatise on life without bumping into some humor.

I'm a really huge fan of the old romantic comedies from the '30s and '40s... Huge fan. I love all that stuff.

We all are so deeply interconnected

Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.

It is no longer acceptable to discuss women's rights as separate from human rights.

I have intentions as a writer, but people - when they're listening to a track - will take from it what they interpret.

No tempest or conflagration, however great, is harder to quell than mob carried away by the novelty of power.

All new beginnings require that you unlock a new door.

True Music, like all true Art, is an experience to be shared, not judged, for praise cannot make it better, as blame cannot make it worse

Dictatorship naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme liberty.

The UK desperately needs less government and freer markets.

Men and women are different, but if women are good enough to run homes and raise children, then their influence ought to be good for politics.
