In that Freak Show environment, I got to spend time with so many of the actors who were part of that world. I just had the best time ever.

The better the actor, the less you know about his life. I mean, nobody's better than De Niro and you don't know anything about him, right?

When I was younger and studying acting, I never ever saw myself in the sitcom world; it was drama that really turned me on and still does.

When I started Doctor Who Steven Moffat said, "That's it for the rest of your life." I'll be Doctor to a whole generation when they're 50.

Police boxes, tweed blazers and bow ties feel quite English, but I think that is one of his virtues, one of the strengths of 'Doctor Who.'

Character actors are becoming a thing of the past. They're just going by the wayside. They're just cutting through that caliber of acting.

My dream is to one day own a country house on the shore in England, have gotten married, wipe some debt off and get a few more good films.

I don't pay too much attention to the positive reviews or the negative reviews because if you believe one, you've gotta believe the other.

My hope is that this movie will affect people on a very profound level and reach them with a message of faith, hope, love and forgiveness.

In film, other actors' performances really are not your concern. If the other actor isn't giving you what you want, act as though he were.

Am I a car aficionado? No: for me, cars have always been just for transport. I didn't even know anyone who had a car until I was 14 or 15.

Donald Trump is Donald Trump! He doesn't apologize for who he is. We know he's tacky. We know he's orange. We know he's got a bad haircut.

I'm the biggest sports fan there is, I love sports, but I'm still convinced that it's teachers who deserve the big salaries, not athletes.

Oh, I get it, it's simple. PG means the hero gets the girl, 15 means that the villain gets the girl, and 18 means everybody gets the girl.

Everything I put my name to and take part in, I want to be good. That's not saying it will always happen. But I want to make bold choices.

I'm looking for diversity, all my characters may or may not be on the wrong side of the tracks. It doesn't mean that they're all the same.

I don't know if I'm necessarily a role model, but hopefully I can inspire any artist - Latin or otherwise - to do this thing for a living.

I'll get a nice little break, after doing Jessica Jones and Luke Cage. Whether I'm in [his show], I don't know, but there's The Defenders.

People who know me know that I'm always interested in an honest, civil exchange of views, and I'm not some Hollywood liberal know-nothing.

You can't think of risks. I have nothing to lose. You either make something that you like, or you don't, and you throw it to the universe.

Happiness does not come from a job. It comes from knowing what you truly value and behaving in a way that's consistent with those beliefs.

For me, to be perfectly honest, the part of my brain that was stimulated by directing was much more exciting than a typical day of acting.

And that if you become a star, people are going to go to see you. If you remain an actor, they're going to go and see the story you're in.

There's a lot of stigma attached to being in a home. Other parents don't want their kids to play with you because you're naughty or nasty.

I learned as a young man that I don't write jokes, but that I can deliver more mundane material and get a laugh. I call myself a humorist.

We realized that the world of popular culture had been creating the perfect candidate for many years: the female champion of the universe.

Here's my take on Instagram: It's so ridiculous that people can go on and play characters, and none of it [should be] taken too seriously.

I always see America as really belonging to the Native Americans. Even though I'm American, I still feel like a visitor in my own country.

Some of the stuff in Season 3 on 'Game of Thrones' - the amount of mud I had to eat, not intentionally but by accident - was pretty tough.

I went to the premier of 'Stardust,' which starred Michelle Pfeiffer. I nearly died when I saw her on the red carpet - she's so beautiful.

I don't know what women are attracted to. I can't tell, but certainly I have no notion of having sex appeal or being seductive in any way.

If you think of the ice caps as the fridge of our planet, if your fridge at home died, the food you eat would go rotten, and you'd starve.

I have made an art form of the interview. The French are the best interviewers, despite their addiction to the triad, like all Cartesians.

It's great to work in film and TV, and I love it, but there's nothing that can replace that instantaneous storytelling you get in theater.

I grew up in the Midwest, where people seem to be friendly and nice to one another. There is less stress than in some of the other cities.

In eighth grade, I wore a tie to school every day. I didn't own jeans. But it wasn't a granola thing, it was really more of an INXS thing.

It's funny; before I started writing professionally, I had a job logging video footage for behind-the-scenes footage for special features.

I am going to continue to work hard, but I do not take it too seriously, I just do what feels right and I really want to have a good time.

I learned a long time ago that if you subscribe and believe the good, you have to believe the bad. My measure is my heart and what I know.

I hate restaurants that play music. You come out for a quiet meal, and you're supposed to put up with all this booming. Why? It's madness!

Nothing compares to being in a room full of politicians screaming abuse at each other all night. It's hilarious but also a bit terrifying.

It definitely gets challenging at times. I travel a lot more now, and its never easy having to leave the kids, even if its for a few days.

People used to be funny about approaching me, but now they seem to think I'm as sane as anyone who's done what I've done in movies can be.

Susanne Bier's work I've always really enjoyed. She's just such a great filmmaker; she's very cool and very sexy - that always helps, too.

Be prepared for the creation of an intrusive bureaucracy to police the ordinance by examining the books and payroll ledgers of businesses.

I could definitely empathize with the character, with the feelings of helplessness - if only the desperation and the feeling of isolation.

Well, I'm a character actor, and actually throughout my life I've... I have relatively speaking played few heroic leads, but I've done it.

I don't go to a lot of parties or do a lot of going out within, like, the Hollywood circle or celebrity-type circles and things like that.

I don't really like the Oscars; it's a commercial promotional event. It helps immeasurably to sell films, but it's hardly the Nobel prize.

When you're in a gang, you go through life like any other individual. You have certain obligations, but you are not forced to do anything.
