And I think, on the other end, there were actors who were not as good as I was, perhaps who could have hung in too, but began to blame everything on race.
Meeting people who want to start a charity, help out their families, or raise money for a good cause has been really fun.
Distance is a bad excuse for not having a good relationship with somebody. It's the determination to keep it going or let it fall by the wayside; that's the real reason that the relationships continue.
I did 'Narnia' because it was a good opportunity and all that, but really? I wanted to play Mr. Tumnus because he's my favourite children's character. That was awesome.
I'm a sucker for giving people money on the street. I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing, but I can't help myself.
I turned down as many roles that I thought were beyond my abilities as I did ones I thought weren't good enough.
My favorite actor is Sir Ben Kingsley - nobody is as good as him, in my opinion. I think he's so good as an artist.
I have really good female friends. I've never bought the whole men-and-women-can't-be-friends thing. I think that's sort of nonsense.

I never thought about being the highest paid. I just wanted to be someone that people cared about watching, and I feel I'm a good actor.
Hair and make-up people don't get enough credit for what they do. It's not just making people look good. It's really creating the character.
Obviously I've gone out of my way in my career to not look good, so it's always nice to, every once in a while, get the opposite going.
The good thing about having chemistry is, when you get to the improv section of a scene, you've got somebody to feed off. It can go on and on and on, and the sky's the limit.
Any good writer is going to be well-received and is going to not be well-received; that's how you know you're a great writer.
Why are people always shooting zombies? Why not just chop their heads off? How can zombies get you if you have a good sword?
I put on whatever is comfortable on me. Suit, jeans and tee as long as it's comfortable. It doesn't matter what brand. If it looks good I buy it.
That's one of the good things about music. You get to do it live, where you can touch the people and interact with them.
They can certainly expect to be very impressed with the technical aspects of the show, fooled and led up the garden path by the story and ultimately have a jolly good laugh!
He was incredibly good as Dr Who. He brought all his eccentricities to the role and was so charismatic and charming. He must be the fans firm favourite.
