Wisdom is the abstract of the past, but beauty is the promise of the future.

Every event that a man would master must be mounted on the run, and no man ever caught the reins of a thought except as it galloped past him.

The very aim and end of our institutions is just this: that we may think what we like and say what we think.

Nothing is so common-place as to wish to be remarkable.

I've found a lot of the thinking in America is that a lot of people become actors to become famous. At least from my experience, I have a dozen or so British friends who are actors, and if you look at their body of work, and they'll go do theatre, and they'll go do this and this. They work, and they're always honing and trying to be better.

We want to do one thing and do it really well. For us, that's communications between people who are friends and relatives.

I started to work when I was really young. For me, friendship is work, and work is friendship. Those who are next to me and that have been there for a long time are those who can work with me, play football with me, and go watch a film with me.

I get emotionally spent answering questions about my dead father and my criminal friends and my upbringing in a hippie environment in a marginalized community.
