I’m not a big fan of the class system, to be honest. It feels ugly to me. If you’ve got something to say and the work is good, it doesn’t matter where you come from

I think the early years, the first decade of your life, is the most formative in a way.

I wish I hadn't worked so hard; I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me; I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings; I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends; and I wish I had let myself be happier. It's an extraordinary list of getting in your own way, isn't it?

I feel as though the cardboard box of my own reality has been flattened and blown open. Now I can see the edge of the world.

It’s always about, somehow, finding a part of myself that is relevant, and then turning the volume up on that particular part. So, I am all of the characters I've ever played, and I am none of them at the same time.

The best comedy is always played straight down the middle.

Haters never win. I just think that's true about life, because negative energy always costs in the end.
