While I was at NYU, I did a play at The Public called 'The Forbidden City,' where I went in as an understudy and got my Equity card.

Previous governments, particularly the one before I took over, mismanaged the economy quite badly.

For 'X-Men' I was lifting a lot of weights. I actually lost a lot of mass when I quit 'X-Men' because I was working out so much and very muscular and strong.

Quite rightly, the public expects to see forces serving their communities, not chasing arbitrary targets.

We don't understand the equity market well, and so we deploy funds in fixed-income securities, and like any other securities, investment in those securities also need to follow the mark-to-market accounting principle.

All art is quite useless.

The Monkees? I heard that they were quite into their party scene at one point.

In researching 'The Luminaries,' I did read quite a lot of 20th-century crime. My favourites out of that were James M. Cain, Dassiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler and Graham Greene and Patricia Highsmith.

I actually got the part. And I thought, Well, I'll do it for a while. I'll just quit if it's stupid.

I remember I quite liked 'SingStar' for a while.

I didn't want to quit the national team.

I'm not really one for collaborations, to be quite honest.

I came to New York when I was eighteen years old, and the first audition that I ever went to was this huge cattle call at the Equity building where I had gone two days earlier to sign up - I didn't have an agent or anything.

I would much rather invest in stocks, bonds, private equity and hedge funds than watches.

Quite often you get a lot of films with lots of story but no characterisation.

I wanted to quit acting and as soon as I decided that, the call for 'Velvet Buzzsaw' came through.

Justice that is not rooted in equity, in social welfare, and in community is not justice at all.

In many countries, women aren't jubilant when they learn they are pregnant. Quite the opposite - they're terrified.

I had to grow up quite quickly.

I'm quite tame as touring musicians go.
