I've always slightly worried the kids who play football around my house. They know I'm an actor, but felt sorry for me because they'd never seen anything I've done.

As you get older you feel you need to pay more attention to what is around you and relish it. I'm greedy for beauty.

The way the elderly are treated, and in some cases warehoused and medicated, rather than nurtured and listened to, is distressing.

If you ever see me in a social setting wearing any sort of sportswear, then you know I'm in crisis.

I'm not a financial expert. The Robin Hood tax seems to me a very simple and beautiful idea. I don't see the problem.

I find it hard to relax around any man who's got the second button on his shirt undone.

When people warned me there would be long periods out of work if I became an actor, I couldn't keep a straight face because that was exactly what I had in mind.

I never go on the net or the web, or whatever it's called.

The phenomenon of vampires has always appealed to me. Everyone kind of likes a vampire story because it almost could be true.

I'm not a royal family watcher.

I'm a jacket man. And if I'm without one, I am kind of seriously disabled. I don't know how to operate in shirt sleeves.

A bitter critic is the sweetest corrector.

When you do your works sincerely, you put wings to your works and then they will fly all over the world on their own!

The happiness of society is the end of government.

I think I am a travel junkie, and I have never enjoyed anything else in my life more than travelling and going to places.

Listen, people like Brian Bendis did great things for comic readers, great things for comic readers.

Consensus doesn't happen by magic... You have to drive to it.

There's nothing like a home-cooked meal - nothing! When people ask me what the best restaurant in L.A. is, I say, 'Uh, my house.' It's more intimate. Food can connect people in a forever sort of way.

A 3-foot putt can be more nerve-racking than a 9-foot putt because a 3-foot putt you should be getting in. A 9-footer, there's a chance it won't go in.

I absolutely adore working in the realms of fantasy.

I'm excited to work on something where I have a bit more time with it, to explore one personality. That's definitely exciting to me.
