There is no recovery for anyone without lifting the lid on the pain of the past and letting in the light.

I feel like every movie is definitely the last one that I've had my moment; that I'm going to be selling autographs at malls.

[Maggie Smith] brings new meaning to the phrase "doesn't suffer fools." She has just the most amazing, dry timing of anyone ever, I think. I think everyone's always known about it, but with her resurgence on Downton Abbey, a whole new generation has been introduced to it, which is just great.

I really make a point of never worrying, or trying not to worry, about the way I'm perceived. You'll go crazy otherwise.

I think part of maturity is knowing who you are.

In no way would I ever assume when I meet some girl that she wants to sleep with me; that doesn't enter my mind. I think somebody who did assume that would be such an insufferably arrogant person that you couldn't be around him.

There was a period in my life where I went out a lot and I had a really good time. But that period is over.
