No one has developed active tuberculosis.

So that is how I ended up with those two titles, I like Accidentally on Purpose better - it is how we work in our trade - is it really an accident, or is there a thread of destiny in there? That was the intention, I am not sure I found out.

I think it's hard to know. Feeling fulfilled, because actors face periods of unemployment, there is nothing worse than being at the top of your game; you have so much to give but do not have the platform to do this.

I happen to love working in cinema, but the theater is always there... you know, and I would never shut the door on it. Even though it's been quite a bit of time since I've done a play, last one was in New York.

It's a question of why they come for your advice. Whatever I tell you, it doesn't matter, it is completely irrelevant in a way. I know so many actors who were discouraged and put that aside. You will get half-baked opinions.

They sent me the script and I thought that there was something very appealing and funny about it. Also, I was familiar with Mike Myers' work in Saturday Night Live, but I did not know the extent to which he would make this creation.

Mike gets to play four roles this time, if we ever did it again, he will play my role as well. He is a comic genius, everyone wants to be in this movie, let's hope that everyone will wish to see it as well.

Every role I've played, that could've happened. It's nice, it happens, but it is rather disconcerting when a young child comes up to at the airport and starts doing your lines, it happens.

The great thing about university is that they incline you to get up and do it, from the Classics to modern plays, to the humor that Monty Pythons made popular.

I've always enjoyed writing, I graduated with a degree in English; I've done bits of journalism.

I had been in a film, playing a young British aristocrat. My wife told me that she was invited to a dinner and she invited me to dinner and the hostess had seen me and said, 'You cannot bring him.' but I think that I've done enough to shatter the image.

I think that you have to believe in your destiny; that you will succeed, you will meet a lot of rejection and it is not always a straight path, there will be detours - so enjoy the view.

No one has developed active tuberculosis.

When being dishonest people can still tell the truth. Be mindful of the treacherous that do not lie.

Cleansing and clearing are two words which suit the essence of Imbolc, as this is February, the Roman month of purification. This can be a cleansing of the self, in undertaking a good ˜detox', or a clearing and cleansing of the home, in keeping with the tradition of spring-cleaning.

Dutch prisons are probably the most civilized you're going to find anywhere in the world.

The very notion of superiority of one kind over another will have to disappear, although differences among kind will remain.

We can succeed only by concert. It is not, 'Can any of us imagine better,' but, 'Can we all do better?'

But charisma only wins peoples attention. Once you have their attention you have to have something to tell them.

When you get a role, you completely lose yourself in it. That's one of the great things about acting - letting yourself go.

By constant self-discipline and self-control you can develop greatness of character.

I think a playwright realizes after he finishes working on the script that this is only the beginning. What will happen when it moves into three dimensions?

As more women lean in to their careers, more men need to lean in to their families. We need to encourage men to be more ambitious in their homes.

The idea of doing something that you've seen a thousand times before doesn't appeal to me.

There is no child left within me, none whatsoever.

Inaction and indecision in the present is because of fear of consequences of the future.

So when you do your family tree and Margaret Cho does hers, and... Wanda Sykes and John Legend... we're adding to the database that scholars can then draw from to generalize about the complexity of the American experience. And that's the contribution that family trees make to broader scholarship.

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember you have within you the srength the patience and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.

It was terrible on dates, because I could never eat when I was on a date.

I've said many times, 'You learn to win through not liking to lose.' And that's what I mean by learning how to win.

A country girl can talk her way out of a ticket.

When I told my parents I wanted to be an actor, my mom was, like, 'I think I heard you say lawyer.'

Giving back, doing motivational speeches and stuff like that, that's always made me feel good. If you repeatedly go out there, and you are the change that you want to see, then that's what you are.

Speak your mind even if your voice shakes.

I've tried to stay out of the frame more as a director.

When I was six or seven, we went to the nearest English primary school, St Weonards, about seven miles away. The teaching was good, and this was the start of my beginning to shine as a student.

We need a broader party. If we're not doing better with millennials and women and Hispanics, African Americans, Asian Americans and others, we will have a tough time being a majority party at the national level.
