I'm belligerent rather than ambitious.

There's a statistical theory that if you gave a million monkeys typewriters and set them to work, they'd eventually come up with the complete works of Shakespeare. Thanks to the Internet, we now know this isn't true.

I was relatively technically adept. I can edit and wire up a light.

I'm still working, I've got two arms, two legs, two gorgeous kids, a lovely wife. Fifteen years ago, I was homeless. So when you think about it, I'm lucky.

My philosophy was, if I just do good work, someone will like it enough to employ me. It never made me famous. And I'm way, way too old now, mate. That boat's sailed.

I hate auditions - when I'm doing them, I can't wait to get out the bleeding door.

Most good roles are written for young men. We are fixated on youth. So however much people say there is nothing wrong with being bald, the reality is once the hair is gone, you might not get the parts.

I need something to do when I'm not working, or I crawl up the walls. So I've just taken up kung fu. I was looking for some kind of calming, relaxing activity. I tried yoga, but it wasn't really me.

When you get to 15 and most of your teachers are priests, there's bound to be a conflict.

I've only used my own voice about four times on film.

It's not any desire on my part to start playing dads, but it's a convention of drama. If you don't get the parts of young people going out to nightclubs, you have to play their fathers.

We tend to think about fascism in terms of the Second World War.

Everyone should be good at what they do.

I don't know how to construct a career that'll make me famous. Except maybe get my ears pinned back, get my teeth done, and go to America. But then I'll be competing with billions of actors who haven't got false teeth, and who are 25.

You learn more doing than doing training.

Not being able to work would make me very unhappy.

I'm not usually attracted to big-budget American films.

I'm belligerent rather than ambitious.

I just wanna build momentum again. Keeping yourself in work is one thing, keeping yourself in good work's another. But if it doesn't work out, so be it. As the Taoists say, Learn to accept that which you cannot change.

Even before my audition, there were several pages missing from my script because those bits were so unbelievably secret not even I was allowed to see them.

That's what I like about Neil Jordan's films: everyone is better at what they do than you are.

I just want to be rich and famous.

Well, put it like this, if you're not a kid, you're a wizard.

Success on one project does not necessarily mean success in the next project. You've got to be prepared in everything you do.

Feeling grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life.

It is only by the rational use of technology; to control and guide what technology is doing; that we can keep any hopes of a social life more desirable than our own: or in fact of a social life which is not appalling to imagine.

Klitschko was the reigning champion for a decade and regarded by many as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. I'm never going to face another opponent with that legacy.

These machines are going to reflect our species and our evolutionary process. Everything we are will end up in these artificially intelligent machines no matter what we do.

I have a love-hate relationship with white silk.

We built our fashion around three fundamental concepts Sicily tailoring and tradition. Our dream is to create a style which is timeless and to create clothes with such a strong personality that whoever sees them can instantly say without a shadow of a doubt this is a Dolce Gabbana.

I am totally a fringe candidate, and so is Bill Weld: you know, two Republican governors serving in heavily blue states, outspoken, small government guys, outspoken on the social liberal side. We're fringe, totally. We're fringe.

I am a PR disaster because I talk too much.

Tollywood has a special place in my heart because Telugu is my mother tongue, and when I sing in the language, my mom feels really happy.

Cherish the friend who tells you a harsh truth, wanting ten times more to tell you a loving lie.

I've seen a lot of shows, but I can't possibly cram in everything that I'd like to, and it's exhausting trying to.

Kind words conquer.

The candle of liberty has always been kept lit by a vigilant few.

Doing Good is a simple and universal vision. A vision to which each and every one of us can connect and contribute to its realisation. A vision based on the belief that by doing good deeds, positive thinking and affirmative choice of words, feelings and actions, we can enhance goodness in the world.

I think we're all a lot more like our parents than we want to admit.

I just watched Paul Michael Glaser. He was the reason I wanted to do the movie because as a kid I was such a big fan of his. I watched all the episodes and tried to get a feeling for what he was doing.

My style is not to challenge anything.

I feel particularly close to them, because I am now out in the universe. I'm in a position to see nature from another point of view, to be outside the earth and see the big picture.

I feel I'd like to share my luck and my life. Being in love is the best thing in the world.

I'm busier than I've ever been, but you can go through the lists of people who are bang up there one minute, and then just disappear.

Before the Great Chicago Fire, no one took notice of Patrick and Catherine O'Leary, two Irish immigrants who lived with their five children on the city's West Side.

My favourite dance is the Foxtrot. It's a proper dance with proper music. It has class.

My grandmother was German. She was an immigrant, and my great grandfather fought in World War I and was stationed in France.
