“For years, I've been mistaken for Rhys Ifans. All the time. People com...” — David Thewlis Quote

For years, I've been mistaken for Rhys Ifans. All the time. People come up and say, 'Notting Hill?' I nearly got beaten up once for not being Rhys.

I am the sort of guy who does go to modern art shows.

I see people around me with very unhappy love lives, who may have held out for that perfect somebody. And the failure to achieve that brings along a lot of bitterness which is very unattractive; therefore they're probably less likely to achieve it.

I like tourists. I think it's nice to live in a town that people come from all over to visit.

I must have read three-quarters of 'Anna Karenina' on my phone. Which might be a record.

Who influenced me the most? I'd have to say Lauryn Hill, I think she influenced me the most.

I wrote for 'King of the Hill' for three seasons.

If a fan comes up and it is a middle-aged lady, it is probably from 'Prime'; if it is a younger girl, it is probably from when I guest-starred on 'One Tree Hill.' And if it is, like, a skateboard kid or a hipster kid, I can tell they are 'How to Make It' fans.

If you're 28 and singing about being over the hill, you're pretending. When you're 67 and singing about it, you know what you're talking about.

There's a lot of 'Silent Hill' in the Upside Down, which people have noticed.
