[watching British play Cricket so they can learn, and they see the Umpire stick his finger up] Tipu: Why is he pointing up? Bhuvan: That's what I'M trying to understand. Guran: Maybe he's calling for his Ma. She's sitting up there, eh? [Laughing]
Simon Graham: I came over with the British trade mission, oh, years ago. I was soon relieved of my position. I had a rather unfortunate tendency to tell the truth in a country where no one ever says what they mean. So now, I very accurately translate...

[To] mechanical progress there is apparently no end: for as in the past so in the future, each step in any direction will remove limits and bring in past barriers which have till then blocked the way in other directions; and so what for the time may ...
My youngest brother and I went on a ten-day canoe trip in Bowron Provincial Park in British Columbia years ago. Believe it or not, we took only granola, thinking we'd be eating a lot of lake trout. Well, we neglected to bring along a net, and our fis...
Confession: I don't want everybody to be beautiful, not in that unlined, creaseless, symmetrical way. Android beauty, like it comes out of a test tube. Beauty without blemish or mark. Not only do I not identify with such people, I don't believe in th...
My father comes from a generation of film that actors my age don't even know about, which is really sad.
Actors' performances do not stand alone in any film, live action or whatever.
Being an actor is the loneliest thing in the world. You are all alone with your concentration and imagination, and that's all you have.
I realised success as an actor alone wouldn't make me happy. I needed to explore my spiritual side in more depth.
It's important to say that actors can't act alone, it's impossible. What we have to do is support each other.
That's an amazing gift as an actor - to be able to say I have an audience in so many countries in the world and that people know my work.
I didn't ever think about being an actor. But I fell in love with it when I realized how amazing, difficult, and interesting it is.
With 'Richard,' I was excited to make this film with such an amazing role for an actor. Play a wide range of emotion and really invest myself in the character.
I love actors. That's my bread and butter, and I got to work with some amazing ones on '12 Years'.

The great actors always play themselves.
There were definitely dark nights when you're like, 'Maybe joining the military wasn't such a good idea.' But, in a way, it was the best training to be an actor.
