Everyone knows almost everything about me. I make it very clear that I'm cool with people knowing all my personal life through my songs.
You can change a person's life in an instant; put him in a movie, and you start thinking differently, you want to be in another movie. It's like an addiction almost.
Home can be the friend you have been searching for all your life or the person you met once very briefly.
If all our happiness is bound up entirely in our personal circumstances it is difficult not to demand of life more than it has to give.
When the honour is given to that scientist personally the happiness is sweet indeed. Science is, on the whole, an informal activity, a life of shirt sleeves and coffee served in beakers.
As a parent, your perspective of childhood is through the eyes of this person that you care so much about and you just want the world to be great for them. You want their life to be easy and happy.
You never know what a person is going through, regardless of how much money they make or however great a life you think they're living.
The real test of friendship is: can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can you enjoy those moments of life that are utterly simple?
I don't have the life of a famous person. But I do feel like I've been able to connect with a lot of people.
If you're famous, I don't - for the life of me - I don't understand why any famous person would ever be on Twitter.
There is less pressure as a character actor. It generally means that you will be acting for all of your life, which is my intention. It is not my intention to just be a rich and famous person, that would be pretty boring.
No person I have ever met, not even the most righteous or pure of heart, has gone without those times when faith recedes in the busy-ness of life.
As young as I look, I think it will still be funny if I played a person who's kind of tortured and hates his life. Kind of like a Larry David-type thing.
Anybody who's ever gone through a hard time - any outsider's perception, no matter how much information they're given, they have no idea what the person's life is like.
People nearly always believe, and are willing to back it up with weapons and cruelty, that their religion and way of life is better than the other person's.
Where it gets clear for me about the privacy issue is with my kids because they didn't choose this kind of life. I'm an incredibly open person, though - I'll tell anyone anything.
Well-being changes as we move through life, which is why a child's version of it cannot be the same as an old person's.
I can't honestly account for the very personal response that I have to one story and not another, a sense of an orbit, the orbit of a world that draws me as my own life recedes.
I do give myself a break in my personal life but I think in work, if you don't push yourself you get bored and want to do something else.
Everyone Instagrams all the people they are with. I get that it's part of the job. But there's a point where it's like, 'Can't you just be a person and have a separate life to your job?'
You have to look at what a person does with his life. Anyone can say that he's a Christian, but you look at how they live.
