The more visionary the idea, the more people it leaves behind.

What shocks me is that so many people leave care and become homeless, and when you're homeless you get into crime, prostitution and drugs, and it is a vicious circle. That's what we need to change.

I'll never get a part in a huge action blockbuster.

I believe it is my duty as a performer to raise issues in the world of things we're afraid to look at.

To be honest with you, a lot of directors can be very lazy.

Some directors cast you because they trust you to do the performance - but then they forget to direct you.

I don't get the point in a lot of biopics, they're boring. You know what's gonna happen. You're just watching actors show off.

I was angry but not at God. I feel that you are closer to God when you are messed up. Definitely. That's when you most need God, and God cannot control what man does.

Everyone wants to look their best, everyone has dreams of wanting to look like something else. But we are who we are.

I want to prove that you don't have to come from Oxford University or Rada - and you don't have to have parents that support you - to succeed.

I can't act without music very well.

OBVIOUSLY YOU STRIKE OUTAGAINST PEOPLE WITHIN RANGE.IT'S CATHARTIC TO AFFECTSOMEONE WHEN YOU'RE ANGRY.ALTERNATIVELY, CHOOSEENEMIES IMPOSSIBLY FAR AWAYSO YOU NEVER HAVE TO FIGHT.

I wrote the song For A Dancer for a friend of mine who died in a fire. He was in the sauna in a house that burned down, so he had no idea anything was going on. It was very sad.

We're plugged in 24 hours a day now. We're all part of one big machine, whether we are conscious of that or not. And if we can't unplug from that machine, eventually we're going to become mindless.

One of the reasons we don't do as well as we should is that we are all over-taught.

It is not faith per se that creates the problem; it is conviction, the notion that one cannot be wrong, that opposing views are necessarily invalid and may even be intolerable.

I also like men who have hands with big masculine veins that you can squish and move.

I think understanding or comprehension is probably the strongest emotion that you feel, or at least some kind of empathy.

It is sweet to surve one country by deeds, and it is not absurd to surve her by words.

I lived in Vancouver, where they film so many things. So it gave me a good shot at it.

Don't postpone your happiness until some perfect future date. Be happy now, tomorrow will take care of itself.
