In a study, scientists report that drinking beer can be good for the liver. I’m sorry, did I say ‘scientists’? I meant ‘Irish people.’
That’s right, it was a boy. And finally, we have a member of the royal family with an actual excuse for being a toothless, petulant, useless human being…That one could get me into trouble back home.
The Troubadour was the only place where you could go and showcase for record companies. If you were lucky you might get to sing three or four songs that night.
I was looking at Jane Fonda last night. And you know why she always looks great? Because there was never a point where you say, ‘Hey, remember those two years when Fonda got fat?’ It never happened. You just have to keep that baseline. That goddamn baseline.
I was thinking about why I make movies, and I know why. Life is hard. It’s nice to go escape and have a good time at the movies. If I can give people a movie about hope, love and the future, then I’ve done my job.
I don’t care what I look like; it’s how people think of me. I do care how people think of me. I want people to say, ‘Oh, she’s nice,’ rather than, ‘Oh, she’s so pretty.’
I think it’s part of being English, particularly if you are middle-class – you’re always looking to be reminded that you are no good and you are always actually embarrassed about being successful.
Any time that people think enough of you to put up something that’s everlasting is only going to make you feel good.
Thanks jet lag it’s now 4am but I’m still in a 1pm body.
I get on really well with Katie (Leung), she’s a really cool girl.
My father came from nothing, so he believed that people could do anything if they worked hard enough. I think he liked that I chose to be an actor. Both he and my mom were totally supportive.
I know without our fans and the devotion of our fans we wouldn’t be here. I don’t mean to put them down, but I’m just stating a fact that it is hard to play to people that see you all the time and it takes a lot of fun out of it in some ways.
I could live without my phone. And one thing I’d love to do is experience having the freedom that kids had back in the ’80s.
When was the last time you saw a musical about people at war with each other?
[after naked photos leaked] I want to apologise to my fans, whose support and trust means the world to me. “I am embarrassed over this situation and regret having ever taken these photos. I am thankful for the support of my family and friends.
It’s funny that it all becomes about clothes. It’s bizarre. You work your butt off and then you win an award and it’s all about your dress. You can’t get away from it.
I think the way for me to win America’s heart is to perform, and if I really was concerned about breaking big then there’d be a tour.
What turning forty means to me- I need to take my pants off as soon as I get home. I didn’t used to have to do that, but now I do.
I feel like everyone you mentioned owes an enormous debt to Jon Stewart’s Daily Show, because I think that started this trend of people having talkshows where they have a point of view that they’re not afraid to share.
Wow. Losing 95 percent of your audience in just five years. That basically makes Obama the NBC of presidents.
What was the competition? Well, I remember this Puerto Rican who came out in a short skirt and a gun.
