“It's head and heart. I like to feed both. I always wanted to be an act...” — Dan Stevens Quote

It's head and heart. I like to feed both. I always wanted to be an actor. But the cultural-intellectual side of things has always excited me. I wouldn't want to let it go.

I don't think many people get to play big emotions in life.

I don't think there's ever a right time to have kids. I'm actually pretty glad it's happened quite young.

Everything's so accelerated now.

I haven't done as many films as I would have liked. A lot of my contemporaries have done more. I don't have 'I will be a movie star' emblazoned on anything, but I'd like do a bit more screen stuff and then when the time is right come back to theatre. When it is good, theatre takes a lot of beating both to watch and perform.

You have to feed your soul and spirit, but you also have to be a professional and remember the business that you're in. Everything is not your passion project.

I need to force feed myself. I'm constantly fighting to stay the weight I am.

Me being me, I feed off the crowd a lot.

I think the theater work and the on-camera work feed off each other. My theater work has become more simple, and my on-camera work has become more energized or more spontaneous.

And I keep saying, whether you like the president or not, everybody has to pull together and help the president because, as the president goes, so goes the country, as the country goes, so goes your job, your ability to feed your family, your government.
