To sit for one's portrait is like being present at one's own creation.

We are never happy; we can only remember that we were so once.

A man gazing on the stars is proverbially at the mercy of the puddles in the road.

The saddest thing that befalls a soul is when it loses faith in God and woman.

Physically my brain is in great shape. My motor functions are fine, but I think going through the whole ordeal... coming pretty close to death, may have affected my priorities.

When I was an adolescent in England, at school we had to read 'Death of a Salesman.' I remember feeling incredibly moved by the portrayal of these people and the idea with which Miller broached the whole subject of failure or failed systems, or the way that people are crushed by a system in which they find themselves.

When I first signed on to play Tommen, I started speculating about when he was going to die. I sort of knew he wouldn't be the last one on the throne, but Tommen doesn't really deserve to have his throat slit or his stomach jabbed. In a way, Tommen died the way he was - it was a peaceful death.

Opera is where a guy gets stabbed in the back, and instead of dying, he sings.
