A human being's first responsibility is to shake hands with himself.

If you make compelling television, they will come.

To me acting is like a jigsaw puzzle. The jigsaw puzzle is of the sky and all the pieces are blue. Out of this you have to create a human being and put it together.

It is the parent's job to see how their child learns and to make sure that the children's self confidence is buoyed at all times, or they will plummet like a stone.

It was surreal to think the Queen of England not only knew who I was but thought enough of what I do to give me an award.

Not every child learns the same way. I could not learn through my eyes. Reading was impossible. Math, to compute it in my mind, was impossible. I learned everything through listening.

When I was growing up, I was told I was stupid and that I would never achieve. I suffered from dyslexia, and in those days it wasn't recognised.

When I'm on a set, and I'm in between a scene or on a plane waiting, I read Twitter and I love it.

You cannot represent cool. You've got to be cool. You've got to be authentic. I think, after all these years, that is how I define cool. It is being authentic. That is powerful.

Boston is large enough to learn your independence and small enough to make your own.

Wyoming is good, but Montana is like heaven on earth.

It's truly unbelievable, the tenacity of life.

Your inner voice, your instinct, knows everything.

People are not perfect... very often the relationships that are strongest are those where people have worked through big crises, but they've had to work through them. So the challenge to us is to work through that.

How strange it is that murder has the sanction of law in one and only one of the human relationships, and that is the most important of all, that of nation to nation.

I've had a couple of long relationships. And I've had a couple of shorter relationships.

I'll miss the relationships I have built with these actors. I'll miss the devotion we have to this work. Over this length of time, the tendency is to think it will never end.

It's so hard to have relationships when there is so much scrutiny.

You know, I think I still have a sense that no matter what you do, no matter what you achieve, no matter how much success you have, no matter how much money you have, relationships are important.
