Law is not boring. In fact, there are popcorn moments. My personal favourite is when one Supreme Court judge slams the argument of another in a highly complicated manner to not offend his/her buddy. #shortbreak008

If equity and trust has taught me one thing, it’s to never be a trustee. You can sit like a rock or work like a beaver, once it appears you’ve slacked, you’re screwed. #shortbreak001

The moment when a privy council’s (pc) decision is favoured over that of a House of Lords’ (HoL) PC: Yo buddy, you ok? HoL: Shut up. PC: Oh c’mon, I don’t get much attention very often anyway! #shortbreak002

After s14(2) SOGA 1979, I’ve never worn new underwear without washing them first. #shortbreak003

When in doubt, ask E-Law resources :) Google is the consolation prize. #shortbreak004

Wondering if the OLA 1984 was enacted to experiment whether a landlord would befriend a trespasser #shortbreak005

When we laugh after being asked if we understood the pass year exam question, even our lecturers know we’re screwed. #shortbreak006

Remember those study group gatherings where each of us argue in one author’s voice so that our perspective of the law was whole? #shortbreak007

‘Why do you read law?’ If only I could answer, ‘Why wouldn’t I read law,’ in an interview. #shortbreak009

TV is not a necessity? I. Will. Kill. You. #shortbreak010

I never went to concerts when I was a kid, so I never knew if what I was doing onstage was right.

If youre gonna be two faced at least make one of them pretty.

When I staged the play and narrated my story to the audience, people found it amazing that after facing so many hardships, I have gone on to do 482 films.

Over the years, I was never really driven to become a solo artist, but I was curious to find out who I was as an individual creative person. It's taken some time, but now I feel I've truly paid my dues. I guess I'm at a point now where I'm more comfortable in my own skin.

To me - old age is always ten years older than I am.

There is a time and a place for things. Sometimes one needs to put a filter on oneself. That can be a good thing.

Investors should be cautiously positioned as the global economy and markets face major uncertainties. The downgrade will be a further headwind to growth and job creation in the U.S.

I remember when I was in school I had this teacher give me this E.L. Doctorow quote: They asked him how much historical research he does for his books and he said, 'As little as possible.' So I try and adhere to that.

Let the future remain uncertain for that is the canvas to receive our desires.

Any athlete has massive reserves in their body and their emotional landscape.

Handsome is as handsome does

I just love the color purple on me, because it goes really well with my eye color.

I'll always be a Brit abroad, and I love London so much, but New York is my home.

It often requires more courage to dare to do right than to fear to do wrong.

The public pays and feels it is entitled to participate in the personal affairs of a performer.

I don't feel I was ever a 'famous' child actor. I was just a working actor who happened to be a kid. I was never really in a hit show until I was a teenager with West Wing playing First Daughter Zoey Bartlet. In a way, that was my saving grace - not being a star on a hit show. It kept me working and kept me grounded.

There are two insults no human being will endure: that he has no sense of humor, and that he has never known trouble.

When people talk about being a writer, the first words that come to mind are glamour and artistic parties like Charles Dickens used to mix cocktails for.

At the end, it's your movie and your performance that stands out. So if I am a good actor, and if am being part of good entertaining engaging films, audiences will like me.

I actually got fired from 'The O.C.'

I think people crave those meaningful situations, stuff about faith, identity, dilemmas of live paradoxes in our souls. It's going back to a time where lives were really defined by history, and also how you behave in the face of history. It's kind of interesting to go back to that simpler humanity, simpler but deeper.

I thought that through the strip, I could vent my spleen and be funny at the same time. But when it comes to humor, there's no substitute for reality and politicians.

The movies of our particular childhood were so great that it's almost impossible to recapture that magic, especially as adults.

Sometimes the most ordinary things are the ones we learn to miss the most.
