“I did perform in punk bands, but it was more about shouting and snarling than about any beautiful music. I enjoyed singing in 'The Golden Circle' - I've never sung in a movie before.”

“I love all those dark, twisty shows, but my favorite show at the moment is 'Girls.' I love watching it. I've forgot how self-absorbed you can be at 21 years old or whatever.”

“Funnily enough, I had a real giggle with Gary Oldman when we were doing an interview together for 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.' Because I joked I was probably the only British actor who wasn't in the 'Harry Potter' franchise. The same is true of 'Game of Thrones.' Also 'Star Wars.'”

“People ask me about the way I conduct my life. Sorry, beautiful music is conducted... Lives cannot be conducted.”

“Being at the show, watching people do what they do so well, hearing a full orchestra, and hearing beautiful music? There's nothing better.”

“I just love new, beautiful music.”
