Real love is strange and changeable… but also somehow constant.

I never get afraid of things. I only get excited.

I'm an eternal realist and the success rate for being an actor is pretty low.

I wish we could be decent to each other.

The thing that keeps you grounded is doing the thing you love.

Once you've seen certain things, the moral compunction drives you to act.

What le Carré is so good at is unpicking something very specific about Englishness. That is almost part of why I think he wrote the novel. You can feel le Carré's anger that someone who has had the benefits of an English education and an English upbringing is using that privilege to basically do the worst things imaginable. There is an anger in the book about that.
