Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. Age is just a number. It's totally irrelevant unless of course you happen to be a bottle of wine.
  • 2. I shall not grow conservative with age.
  • 3. With age you see people fail more. You see yourself fail more. How do you keep that fearlessness of a kid? You keep going. Luckily I'm not afraid to make a fool of myself.

2 Amazing

  • 1. So when I go home sometimes even when I had an amazing game I always think about what I missed.
  • 2. I'd do pretty much anything to get back on stage. I'd like to develop a new musical. I nearly had a heart attack when I heard that they're developing John Waters' Cry-Baby because that is so amazing and super and wonderful and I wish that I could be involved. But it's not the right time and I understand that. But I hear things like that and I get that little tingle in my stomach.
  • 3. It was really cool to work with Dakota Fanning. I've watched her grow up and I've always loved her films loved her. It was amazing working with someone who was American as well because obviously it's going to be a different energy straightaway. We got on really well she's so professional and hardworking.

3 Anger

  • 1. It is wise to direct your anger towards problems – not people to focus your energies on answers – not excuses.
  • 2. All through life I've harbored anger rather than expressed it at the moment.
  • 3. Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers for each rage leaves him less than he had been before – it takes something from him.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Perhaps a hundred people assembled one evening May 15 1876 at the time when the country was celebrating the hundredth anniversary of its political independence.
  • 2. Marriage is an act of will that signifies and involves a mutual gift which unites the spouses and binds them to their eventual souls with whom they make up a sole family – a domestic church.
  • 3. Love is not weakness. It is strong. Only the sacrament of marriage can contain it.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The intellectual architecture means focusing on doing great work instead of focusing on agency politics.
  • 2. I was planning to go into architecture. But when I arrived architecture was filled up. Acting was right next to it so I signed up for acting instead.
  • 3. When I'm in London Claridge's is a great favourite. I'm a big fan of art deco architecture and the rooms are extraordinary.
