I can't go anywhere without being recognized. I'm.

The reality is, Jennifer and I can do our job well because we truly are friends. But when the day's over, she goes home to her boyfriend and I go home to a magazine.

It's really important to me not to be known as Ross when I'm 60.

I find America falling in love with a TV show flattering and interesting, but at the same time a little sad.

It's a job - someone's gotta kiss Jennifer Aniston. The reality is, Jennifer and I can do our job well because we truly are friends. But when the day's over, she goes home to her boyfriend and I go home to a magazine.

There's nothing like a play. It's so immediate and every performance is different. As an actor, you have the most control over what the audience is seeing.

If there's something I want, I go for it. I just think about how I'm going to go for it.

Can I tell you how strange it is to look in your rearview mirror and see guys in cars tailing you?

I like to grow as an actor, and you can do that by playing parts that are unfamiliar to you and uncomfortable.

I spend half my time just living my life, and the other half analyzing it.

As an actor, the training I received was that I walk through the world as an observer of life and of people. My job is to actually be looking out all the time and watching people.

I don't think I responded very well to the sudden celebrity, the sudden fame, and the loss of privacy.

I like to challenge myself. I like to learn - so I like to try new things and try to keep growing.

I really believe that, as an actor, you should be constantly studying other people, and celebrity had the absolute opposite effect on me. It made me want to hide - to run away and hide.

I've made a good amount of money. I'm very happy that I can now support my theatre company and support friends and family, and I'm ready to maybe go back to school and change careers.

If I were given a choice between two films and one was dark and explored depraved, troubled or sick aspects of our culture, I would always opt for that over the next romantic comedy.

London is completely unpredictable when it comes to weather. You'll start a scene, and it's a beautiful morning. You get there at 6 in the morning, set up, you start the scene, start shooting. Three hours later, it is pitch black and rainy.

The biggest effect celebrity had on me was that I stopped being open and receptive and started to walk around with my head down.

To be perfectly honest, I feel I have a duty to use my celebrity status in a positive way.

When you're playing the same character for a decade it's natural that there are moments when you want to try something new.

What Trump has done is tap into a deep-seated anxiety about where the country is headed. There is an anxiety that is real and sincere. Many people feel helpless.

And although I like to relax and have fun, my passion is my work.

If you don't have those moments where you go too far, then you're probably not going far enough.

I perceive myself as rather uninhibited, with a certain mathematical facility and more interest in the broad aspect of a problem than the delicate nuances. I am more interested in discovering what is over the next rise than in assiduously cultivating the beautiful garden close at hand.

Because my life has been so notorious and so bad, it can overshadow my work.

The U.K. has been very progressive about on-demand, and the iPlayer has been a great invention. It has trained a generation of viewers to expect on-demand - unfortunately, it trains them to expect free!

Women's lives get more interesting the older they get. For some reason, when you hit 35, it turns into a grey area filmically. There's not much more until you start playing grannies. I'm not ready for that. I'm just naffed off that, between 35 and 50, there aren't better things about.

The organization and the environment are in concert.

Courtship to marriage is as a very witty prologue to a very dull play.

I tell our runners to divide the race into thirds. Run the first part with your head, the middle part with your personality, and the last part with your heart.

I define friendship as a bond that transcends all barriers. When you are ready to expect anything and everything from friends, good, bad or ugly... that's what I call true friendship.

Alchemy is the art of far and near, and I think poetry is alchemy in that way. It's delightful to distort size, to see something that's tiny as though it were vast

'Clothespin' was the first city monument on a large scale that could compete with the architecture around it.

Feeling better is not actually being better.

I never read any of the comics, but I grew up on the animated series when I was a little kid - I guess it came out in 1992. So I've always been an 'X-Men' fan.

The only people I ever get irritated with are the ones who announce, using my Twitter handle, that they are no longer following me and why.
