“I went to a drama club when I was little, but it was more of an excuse...” — Rupert Friend Quote

“I went to a drama club when I was little, but it was more of an excuse to flirt with girls than anything else. We never put on plays.”

“All I would say is that when I've been very down or having kind of a tough time in my life, certain films or pieces of music or books have changed that. They've taken me out of a dark place and put me into a more positive one. And I think that if we can do that for people, then it's certainly worth doing.”

“I find the English flag - the cross - quite frightening; it has very bad symbolism for me. Not just football hooligans but supremacists and the BNP.”

“This whole science thing of working out if players are a little bit tired just gives you an excuse to leave them out.”

“However, don't let perfectionism become an excuse for never getting started.”

“I've always got an excuse to be inspired by somewhere, so I always spend a lot of time wandering around new places, in my own world. I just like people watching.”
