“People still kill in the name of religion. We haven't evolved to the point where we're one tribe called humans.”

“I think actors have a choice of drawing attention to themselves or living on the outskirts.”

“You get perspective on things when you're away from your child, and in a way, your love for them becomes even deeper.”

“I'm very drawn to characters who are very flawed. I'm less interested in characters who are just good or bad, because to me then they're not real people.”

“The happiest days of my youth were when my brother and I would run through the woods and feel quite safe.”

“Civilisation has ever accompanied emigration and conquest - the conflict of opinion, of religion, or of race.”

“Both religions and musicals work best with energetic and committed believers. Cynicism or detachment would have destroyed the magic - something true of religion, too.”

“The only interesting thing about religion is how many people it's slaughtered. Communism and Nazism are religions as well, make no mistake about it.”
