This guy Simon Helberg, who's in 'Florence Foster Jenkins,' I might have been vaguely patronizing to him because he hadn't done films before. Gradually, you realize, not only is the guy a much bigger star than me, he's maybe the richest man I've ever met.

I find it hard to understand why Scorsese has never called. You know, given the natural menace I bring to the screen.

The moral of filmmaking in Britain is that you will be screwed by the weather.

Strangely enough I'm better on a stage. I love that I feel like I blossom in front of a whole bunch of people.

I don't have any particular burning desire to go back to being cuddly. Not really.

I've certainly had a bad attitude to my job on many occasions. Not since 'Four Weddings and a Funeral'. I've been rather a good boy and really given it everything when I've accepted a part since then, because I've been given much better parts in films.

I always admire the French and the Italians who are very devoted to their marriages. They take them extremely seriously, but it is understood that there might be other visitors at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. You just never boast about. They never say anything, but that's what keeps marriages together.

'Notting Hill?' Does that poke fun at being British? Maybe it does. In 'Mickey Blue Eyes,' that's kind of the point: the clash of worlds, the unlikely combo of a respectable Englishman and a mob guy. If you take out the Britishness, you don't really have much.

My contemporary art collection began with just needing to put things on the wall. I was looking around my Victorian house thinking, 'What would be the coolest is contemporary art - it will make me look young and interesting.' I'm more than 80 percent skeptical of the whole thing.

Brexit was a fantastic example of a nation shooting itself full in the face.

I had Courtney Love's left bosom out of her dress on my plate in front of me. It was extraordinary. I didn't know where to look.

I quite like Pilates now. I have a Pilates girl in every city.

I'm very unrelaxed doing a newspaper interview.

When I was prepping for my Broadway debut as Romeo, it really hit me that I had never done that. I had trained at drama school for three years in my late teens to early 20s, and I'd studied Shakespeare, of course, but I hadn't actually performed it. So to do something like Romeo for my first Broadway role was a challenge.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

...Victim-eyes of impersonal tragedy, to be impersonal no longer.

[I wrote] '...letters designed to hide behind.

"Be so good they can't ignore you."

“Words are the vibrations of nature. Therefore, beautiful words create beautiful nature. Ugly words create ugly nature. This is the root of the universe.”

“Life is love, a gift from god and parent, death is gratitude for a new dimension”

Grow old with me! The best is yet to be.

But, O alas! so long, so far, Our bodies why do we forbear?

When you're moving in the positive, your destination is the brightest star.

If we begin to stop spewing the negative and really move into using our voices and our pens and our abilities that we have to reach millions of people to the positive, we can make a difference in the world.
