When you think about justifiable anger in one's personal life, we look at those scenarios in everyday life and through our story with a superhero, we heighten them.

All we can do now is try to prevent secondary damage by relieving pressure on the brain caused by the initial injury. There is no reparative treatment for traumatic brain injury.

It's very, very tempting to make a superhero film or show and make it about the powers.

I am incredibly self-deprecating. It stems from self-doubt.

It's so easy to become obsessed with the film industry and recognition that we can forget that we are not saving the world. We are just actors trying to entertain people.

What the writers do, and we hopefully can bring to life, is that they present characters who, on the surface, aren't always heroic and their acts aren't always devoid of selfishness.

We had no idea that this show [Daredevil] would be as popular as it was, but with the benefit of hindsight, one thing I can say is that I think that was a really, really smart move.

Of all the London theatres, the Donmar is the dream.

If the show encourages an audience to ask the question, "Is this character's emotional response to this situation valid?," then that's a really good question to ask.

In other films and TV shows, we might say, "Well, they're just evil." In our show [Daredeval], we're trying to say, "There's bad actions, but not necessarily bad people."

I love New York, but I have to admit that I feel very English, and I do miss that sense of history that you have everywhere in Britain.

Theories and goals of education don't matter a whit if you do not consider your students to be human beings.

Heroism is endurance for one moment more.

I think the guys are starting to rally around my leadership style and the way I do things. I've been waiting for this opportunity my whole life.

The impact of improving health is that the population growth goes down, and so you can educate more kids, feed more kids.

I don't ever want anything to come in the way of me truthfully telling a story.

I like to learn the lines and not get any precontrived things in my head about the part. Just get on stage and see what the other actors are doing, and respond to them as honestly as I can.

Where can one find a profounder desolation than in the poor child who has lost its mother?

Once upon a time, there was a clear set of choices that people made. Now there are so many choices of how to think, how to define ourselves.

I once wrote a song so beautiful that I myself couldn't sing it. It's called Plastic Government Cheese Swan, and it's about how the world is plastic and full of government cheese swans.

The music, while it lasted, brought a new world into being.
