It's very hard to be objective about something you're in, especially when you set it up against things that you experienced as a child.

I still am a geek, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I see no shame in having an unhealthy obsession with something.

Some people live more in 20 years than others do in 80. It's not the time that matters, it's the person.

I'm a good person, I hope. But I'm never as good as I want to be, never as nice as I want to be, never as generous as I want to be.

I've always been a geek and slightly awkward… slightly umm… I was never the cool kid at school.

If you speak in a different accent, you begin to move in a slightly different way. You think in a slightly different way. It's part of trying to find what makes a character.

To have someone who's got a strong individual voice that is allowed to be heard is quite increasingly rare. These people need to be cherished.

I think if my eight-year-old self could see me at the Royal Albert Hall winning a prize for playing the Doctor on telly, he would need a stiff shot of Irn-Bru.

Moths are the ones that freak me out. It's something to do with the way that, if they get squashed, they turn to dust. There's something very wrong about that. It all feels a bit Gothic.

How galling to watch someone who looks like you, who basically is you, do all the shagging you didn't get to do.

I mean, you know, while I'm acting on stage I'm ranking quite high, but in a room with Barack Obama I'm probably into negative digits. I never feel very famous.

Nobody ever wrote down a plan to be broke, fat, lazy, or stupid. Those things are what happen when you don’t have a plan.

May your star point the best pathways for your life.

For I never care to do a thing in a quiet way

Every spring is the only spring, a perpetual astonishment.

Every man who has at last succeeded, after long effort, in calling up the divinity which lies hidden in a woman's heart, is startled to find that he must obey the God he summoned.

Rigidity is the enemy of acting. And I think that people who stay up all night focusing on every beat they're going to do the next day always end up getting screwed.

People let little things cheat them out of big opportunities

My favorite piece [piece of music] is the one we hear all the time if we are quiet.

You cannot defect form an insight. You cannot unsee what you have seen.

I love you and I forgive you. I am like you and you are like me. I love all people. I love the world. I love creating. Everything in our life should be based on love.
