The criminal justice system, like any system designed by human beings, clearly has its flaws.

My intuition comes up with better stuff than my head, I think.

I always feel I am in the dark. You are never finished... it is not as if you can look back and think: ah... I know what I am talking about. You are only as good as your last job and are always struggling and striving and you never quite get to where you want to be.
Ben Whishaw

I've been out to LA a couple of times but, over there, the Grenouille in me always comes to the surface. I feel completely terrified, totally flummoxed, like I don't understand what the hell is going on. I've no desire at all to go back there.
Ben Whishaw
I think the sensation of being moved by a piece of art is something that is really good for a person's soul.
Ben Whishaw
Dustin Hoffman takes such pleasure in what he does and there's nothing tense about him. He exudes joy and passion for what he's doing and that infects everyone. It certainly put me at ease coming to work with him every day. I felt his confidence and freedom rubbed off. He doesn't censor himself or stop an idea because he thinks it might be wrong.
Ben Whishaw
I love the characters I've had the opportunity to play.
Ben Whishaw
Filmmakers tell stories to explore human nature, which is always a flawed thing.
Ben Whishaw
I don't have any ambition to make lots of money or win an Oscar or anything like that. It's not about that for me.
