Mellow doesn't describe me. I'm hungry every day.

There is no greater virtue than honesty.

Money's only something you need in case you don't die tomorrow.

We are not asked to do great things. We are asked to do all things with great care.

What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you don't know what you're doing.

The audience should feel like voyeurs. Their response is absolutely crucial.

I get stage fright and gremlins in my head saying: 'You're going to forget your lines'.

I am hellbent on defying your expectations, at every turn, and even if you don't like what's being done, I dare you to find it uninteresting.

The difference between being an actor and a director is simple. The director has to hide his panic; the actor doesn't.

If people want to know who I am, it is all in the work.

Those of you who are not aware of my brilliant career as a stand up comic, I'm not aware of it either so we might well wonder what we're doing here.

I can only see my limitations. That's just who I am.

I'm still living the life where you get home and open the fridge and there's half a pot of yogurt and a half a can of flat Coca-Cola.

It's a nightmare to sit and watch a film that I'm in. There's a horrible inescapability to it.

I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.

I'm a lot less serious than people think, it's probably because the way my face is put together.

I don't think it's right that everybody knows everything about me.

Acting touches nerves you have absolutely no control over.

Actors are agents of change. A film, a piece of theater, a piece of music, or a book can make a difference. It can change the world.
