believe people killing-each-other
We'd all like to believe that perhaps people could stop killing each other.
I guess I'd love to be surprised by something I had never thought of.

There's a lot of people who feel there's a tabloid journalist who had it coming.

God is not anything human. God is a force, God is chaos, God is unknown. God is terror and enlightenment at the same time.

Gardeners are good at nurturing, and they have a great quality of patience, they're tender. They have to be persistent.

News reports can overwhelm us. We can be appalled, we can sympathise. But what is hard to grasp is the sense that, at this moment, people are working, organising - not just at an executive level, but on the floor, in the warehouse. A man is packing a box of oral rehydration tablets; maternity kits are being prepared; education kits are being packed. And somewhere, tomorrow, those boxes will be unpacked and a child with life-threatening diarrhoea will be saved, a baby will be born in more hygienic circumstances, a girl will receive her first exercise book and her first pencil.
jobs mean playing-yourself
Being an actor means asking people to look at you. I guess I accept that. But it's a profession in which the job is to show another world and other people. You may access it through bits of yourself, and your imagination and experience, but actually, in the end, you're not playing yourself.

People fear they won’t get what they want.
relationship
When you meet women, don't pretend to be anything that you're not.
distance worry community
...the world is a giant community now. This excuse of distance, time, doesn't work...We're all so connected. We can't spend every second of our lives worrying about another family miles away but we somehow have to factor it in where we can.
