You've only got a short shelf-life as an actor, and I want to make the most of it while I can.

Hackney gets a bit of a bad rap, but it's the only place I've ever lived that felt like a community. I know my neighbours.

I always, always want to make people laugh. In every situation. Even when it's inappropriate.

I never used to see anything on TV where the man was in the weaker position. It was always the female showing emotion, breaking down, being emotionally torn apart by men.

I'll cry anywhere because I can do it quite subtly. Walking, that's a good time to have a cry.

Comedians... they're different from actors. There's more ego there. They create the whole thing, I guess, so they're more precious.

Personally, my twenties were a complete waste of time. Professionally, I hope some good came of them.

I love Sutton House in Clapton, a beautiful example of Tudor architecture.

I'm the person who will go to a wedding and switch the place cards around because I don't want to sit next to someone I don't know, because I'm so bad at chatting to strangers.

Spending way too long worrying about what people think about me is a bad habit.

I was the kid who liked making other people laugh, so maybe the comedy came before the acting.

Sometimes losses in life are not losses at all. They are simply the evidence God provides, in order to build a story so profound, that it will cause social change.

No man loveth God except the man who has first learned that God loves him.

In the war between the humans and the robots, the humans had to win. Call me hopeful.

Nothing is so improving to the temper as the study of the beauties either of poetry, eloquence, music, or painting.

It's confidence; it has to be something good about getting old. One of the things is that you just don't stress about some stuff that made you so worried.

With Crosby, Stills and Nash and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young...we're very strong individuals, and we want our lives to be led the way we want them to.

My mother isn't crazy. She simply has a harder time than most reconciling her reality with everyone else's reality.

What happens if your choice is misguided, You must try to correct it But what if it’s too late? What if you can’t? Then you must find a way to live with it.

Real gold fears no fire.

You can't think seriously about thinking without thinking about thinking about something.
