Sometimes I think, 'To hell with acting' and then I realize I could be working at a shoe shop. Acting is much cooler.

I was only given this life because I'm strong enough to live it.

I'm afraid of buying a house or anything, 'cause if there's one paparazzi outside for one day, then they'll never leave.

Music means freedom to me. But in acting you can pretend to be someone else and I like that.

I did this movie about Salvador Dali a few years ago and had hair extensions and a little bob. That was incredibly bizarre.

People who are the most normal are probably the most crazy.

I prefer to be someone who has to confront his many fears instead of someone who has the illusion he doesn't fear anything

I'm always shocked by the people who I'm attracted to. It's always completely random. I generally like people who are a bit crazy but yeah, that's pretty much my only prerequisite.

The link between my brain and my mouth is just not there anymore.

I've never met anyone who's left a comment on anything. It's just demons who live in basements.

Someone stole my shoelaces once from my shoes. I still wear them and never put laces in them - they're like my trademark shoes now!

Comfort is the enemy of Liberty

Pray for strength to preserve.

Girls are always complaining that they can never meet a nice guy. Nice guys are everywhere. The problem isn’t that there aren't any nice guys, the problem is that all of the nice guys are ugly.

You are what you love, not who loves you.

Some people learn comedy, and some people just are comedy.

It's pretty intense to have someone (the camera) looming there when you are singing a song but it's sort of invigorating too.

It's not the school, the curriculum, or the teacher, but motivation that is the single most important ingredient in learning.

Seize every opportunity that life offers you because, when opportunities go, they take a long time to come back.

As a general principle you should not force young men to do their duty, but let them do it voluntarily and thereby develop their characters.

It's lovely to be old. I've got age, experience and zero personal ambition. No body could corrupt me by anything: possibly a job in the government, a peerage, a quango, I don't want any of it.
