I will be making films, and I'm going to keep working, no matter what I have to do. And I don't plan to ever ask for permission from anybody.
I would say critically of myself that I am somebody without secrets. Sometimes acting depends on you having a secret. I don't think I've ever had that.
I hate parties. I really don't like public events. I hate dressing up. I am the worst celebrity ever!
I don't really ever think about whether or not I like the characters I'm playing. I'm more into the minutiae of their behaviour or what they're doing in a certain scene.
Being compared to Ian Thorpe, that could be one of the greatest compliments you could ever get in swimming - being compared to him and Mark Spitz.
The Greatest” is a bite-your-tongue-book. Ultimately a tragic tale it is also immensely uplifting and easily the best footballer biography I have ever read.
I don't know if I'd ever sing a whole album because I don't know if I'd want to hear my voice for more than three or four songs.
Though it's a small price to pay, shaving my head has opened more doors than I ever thought possible.
I don't regret anything I've ever done. I only wish I could have done more.
A king is always a king - and a woman always a woman: his authority and her sex ever stand between them and rational converse.
Normal people - i.e., people who aren't actors - are the most bizarre people you can ever come across. I'll talk to someone and come away thinking, 'They are clinically insane.'
We're our own worst enemy. You doubt yourself more than anybody else ever will. If you can get past that, you can be successful.
I had wanted to act since I was a kid, but I had a lot of shame attached to it. I didn't tell anyone because I didn't think it was ever a possibility.
I had started off, before I ever got an acting job, working at Robert De Niro's Tribeca Productions as a reader. I was always interested in that side of the camera.
'The Exorcist' is the scariest movie ever made. It just felt dead-on real, like you were watching the existence of the devil.
The labours of men of genius, however erroneously directed, scarcely ever fail in ultimately turning to the solid advantage of mankind.
My uncle is from Trinidad, so, ever since I was 7, I grew up listening to Soca, the genre that's from there. It's my favorite sound.
I don't really ever worry about what anyone else does and I certainly don't worry about what anyone else says about me.
I got the first thing I auditioned for - a guest role on two episodes on 'All Saints,' and I don't think I had ever been that excited.
I never fantasized or invented a thing, not one thing. I knew every single thing I ever wrote about.
Every job I've ever gotten has been an accident. All the jobs I actually go after, I don't get.
