dangerous our-future intrigued
I suppose I'm intrigued with the bad traits of society, because I'm a part of society, and the bad traits pose the dangerous questions for our future.
thinking play careers
I think it's a bigger risk following a part that plays up your looks than it is to try and carve out a career as an actor.
pockets handkerchiefs showy
You have a handkerchief, put it in your pocket.
fans reason
I've never been a fan of just doing. I like to do things for a reason.
heart eye essence
You heard it from the heart, you saw it in their eyes. Then I got used to the fact that I couldn't feel my fingers and my feet. That for me was the essence of the battle.
regret nannies action
There is no defence for my actions which I sincerely regret. [on an affair with nanny Daisy Wright]
soapbox brilliant utopia
I've always liked what Thomas More said in Utopia, which is that in Utopia every person is allowed their own lifestyle and religion but no one is allowed to stand on a soapbox and tell others that theirs is right. I thought that was brilliant. Brilliant.
dance expression people
When you step back and watch people, you realize that we use every single body part. Movement, dance - I find it genius because it's ultimate expression, really.
inspiration long actors
Personally speaking there's only so long you can go from film to film to film. There's an inspiration an actor gets from the stage.
nice home london
London is my home... I know what's right and wrong here, and it's nice to have somewhere familiar to go back to.
book heart writing
[Tom] Wolfe's books offered a whole new world to step into, and whilst at times you could accuse him of being somewhat long-winded, he had an incredible quality of prose and a bravery of writing from the heart. He believed in being autobiographical at all times.
summer nice rome
The other nice thing about the robes is that they keep you cool in the summer, and we were filming sometimes in Rome, where it was sometimes over 100 degrees.
strong clever writing
I hadn't read or heard a lot about [Tom] Wolfe until I read this script, and in that way I think it was really clever to write a piece about him instead of Max Perkins,[Ernest] Hemingway, [John] Fitzgerald, or others that people have strong opinions of already.
fun thinking play
The greatest gift an actor can have is not revealing who he is but through the parts he plays. Unfortunately, we live in a world where everyone wants to know everything all the time and I think it takes away part of the fun of acting that we have to go through that all the time.
