Quote

The terrible thing in England is if you interview a thousand people, five hundred of them will talk like they're going into a Guy Ritchie movie and the other five hundred will be Mr. Darcy. So we had to find cool, working class kids with no profile who could be John Travolta and James Dean and people like that.

Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.

If I do eat meat, it's got to be ethical. I want to know that it lived a great life before it was killed humanely.

Blasphemy: a law to protect an all-powerful, supernatural deity from getting its feelings hurt.

You won't burn in hell. But be nice anyway.

I'd like to thank God for making me an atheist.

We didn't evolve God made us. So I just want to explain to you exactly how that happened... Some of the things you'll hear do sound a little bit far-fetched. I admit that. Then I found out that the other name for The Bible is The Gospel, so it is all true. Luckily, the clue is in the title.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if you believe in god, you're wrong.

The simple fact is, offense is taken, not given.

Mondays are fine. It's your life that sucks

I know how much embarrassment hurts, and I love it as a theme because you can keep digging a hole. It's just an endless well, embarrassment.

You now have the least amount of time you've ever had, to do everything you've ever wanted to do. Enjoy your life. You only get one

I use people's real voices because I want realism. So often I mention the actors' physicality because I want it to be like a real documentary.

People see me, and they see the suit, and they go: you're not fooling anyone, they know I'm rock and roll through and through. But you know that old thing, live fast, die young? Not my way. Live fast, sure, live too bloody fast sometimes, but die young? Die old. That's the way- not orthodox, I don't live by the rules you know.

The service in L.A. is the best. You don't get sarcastic, surly, fed-up waiters and waitresses like you do in England. They're good at their job and they're there for the customer. The only depressing thing is a lot of them have written more screenplays than me.

Spirituality really lost its way when it became a stick to beat people with: ‘Do this or you’ll burn in hell.

Next time someone tells me they believe in God, I'll say 'Oh which one? Zeus? Hades? Jupiter? Mars? Odin? Thor? Krishna? Vishnu? Ra?...' If they say 'Just God. I only believe in the one God,' I'll point out that they are nearly as atheistic as me. I don't believe in 2,870 gods, and they don't believe in 2,869.

I think what makes us human is those choices - whether to tell the truth or not.

I think Hollywood's gotten more reactionary and conservative over the years, because there's no longer art in Hollywood. Art suffers in Hollywood.

Telling someone with depression to pull themselves together is about as useful as telling someone with cancer to just stop having cancer
