My philosophy is: It's none of my business what people say of me, and think of me. I am what I am, I do what I do. I expect nothing, and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.

I come from - I came from Wales, and it's a strong, butch society. We were in the war and all that. People didn't waste time feeling sorry for themselves. You had to get on with it. So my credo is get on with it. I don't waste time being soft. I'm not cold, but I don't like being, wasting my time with - life's too short.

I think a certain amount of stress in life is good. The stress of just working, which takes effort - I think it keeps you going.

Why love if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore; only the life I have lived. The pain now is part of the happiness then.

Life's too short to deal with other people's insecurities.

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already 3-parts dead.

It is the preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else that prevents us from living freely and nobly.

Those who have never known the deep intimacy and the intense companionship of happy mutual love have missed the best thing that life has to give.

To teach how to live without certainty, and yet without being paralyzed by hesitation, is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy, in our age, can still do for those who study it.

It has been said that man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence which could support this.

It is essential to happiness that our way of living should spring from our own deep impulses and not from the accidental tastes and desires of those who happen to be our neighbors, or even our relations.

The good life is inspired by love and guided by knowledge

Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim.

A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy can live.

We love our habits more than our income, often more than our life.

Sometimes the hardest thing in life is to know which bridge to cross and which to burn

Belief in God and a future life makes it possible to go through life with less of stoic courage than is needed by skeptics.

Waking up in TRUTH is so much better than living in a lie.

My Father always told me that a fool at 40 is a fool for life.

I find that a lot of actors who are good and open to challenges have lived a full life. When you walk into an audition, you have more to say for yourself because you come from the real world. It's more enticing for directors, I think.

I was always a real athletic kid. Then when I got older, I just figured it was part of life to keep training.

I lived in America for a long time before I started working as an actor. Some actors show up on set and have never done an American accent before, so they rely on a slew of technical mechanisms. Part of what makes an accent is understanding why people speak that way - you have to understand the culture.
