There's a reason hobble skirts are called hobble skirts. You literally can't move very far in them.

I am a hopeless romantic.

I have endless playlists on my iPod so will throw on, say, Bruce Springsteen or The Smiths, depending on what kind of day I'm going to have.

I just really think every job I do, I get this gypsy attitude to money.

You never think you're as old as you're ever going to get.

And it's as you get older that you realize that the things that make you strange are the things that make you who you are. And that's a lovely place to get to.

I've been told I make a very good brew.

Girls in scripts are often pretty but brainless, or geeky and no one likes them, so it's great to find richer roles. Chalk and cheese aspects of people are very interesting to play.

I don't know if I'm so righteous.

The thing I adore about acting is that it's not me: you get to experience all these emotions, but essentially it's not you.

My style icons would be people like Brigitte Bardot and old Hollywood actresses who always look so stunning, cool and chic. I like classic and timeless looks.

No power is born of hate.All power and authority is born of love.Oh, you, who want any power somewhere!Ask yourselves who and what you love?

Words were numbers were codes were formulae. Words held secret maps, the measuring of paces, the patterns of mortal minds, of histories, of cities, of continents and warrens.

It serves notice that President Bush is serious about promoting freedom, because free societies are a lot more peaceable than dictatorships and monarchies.

You can calculate the worth of a man by the number of his enemies, and the importance of a work of art by the harm that is spoken of it.

Anybody can be a halfway man, but the one who rises above this class is the one who keeps everlastingly pushing.

Strategy is the art of making use of time and space. I am less concerned about the later than the former. Space we can recover, lost time never.

The way to be a man if you're a little boy is to be willing to throw your weight around.

Most of us grow up with a sense of "I'm not intelligent enough." It's such a sad thing that in the West we worship a certain kind of left-brain intelligence.

Yes, I feel I've got something to say. If people want to listen, that's great, and if they don't, that's their choice.

At the end of the day, I'm very convinced that you're going to be judged on how you are as a husband and as a father and not on how many bowl games we won.
