Quote

At Christmas, individuals are apportioned their roles in the family script - you're either the funny one or the sensitive one or you either do the cooking or the washing up. And those roles aren't easy to change.

I believe in the strength and intelligence and sensitivity of women. My mother, my sisters [they] are strong. My mum is a strong woman and I love her for it.

Ancient societies had anthropomorphic gods: a huge pantheon expanding into centuries of dynastic drama fathers and sons, martyred heroes, star-crossed lovers, the deaths of kings - stories that taught us of the danger of hubris and the primacy of humility.

It sounds cliched, but superheroes can be lonely, vain, arrogant and proud. Often they overcome these human frailties for the greater good.

The language of digital communication is a language we don't understand in a way. People say the internet is like the Wild West in that it's lawless and we haven't worked out how to make it structured or moral.

Artists instinctively want to reflect humanity, their own and each other's, in all its intermittent virtue and vitality, frailty and fallibility.

I truly think any preparation you do only helps and adds dimension and complexity to the work [as an actor].

One of my New Year's resolutions was to interact more with people. That sounds quite technical, but literally face time. Not FaceTime, because that's a thing now, but to be in the room with someone. To turn your phone off. To sit and have dinner and just be there with somebody.

It was quite a European war until 1917, when the Americans joined up. They don't have the same sense of the loss of innocence and the cataclysmic loss of life. A whole generation was wiped out.

Tony Stark in 'Iron Man' helped wider audiences finally embrace the enormous talent of Robert Downey Jr.

I have been allowed to inhabit different shades of human nature and different colours of truth indifferent circumstances.

I wish I hadn't worked so hard I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends and I wish I had let myself be happier. It's an extraordinary list of getting in your own way, isn't it?

It’s always about, somehow, finding a part of myself that is relevant, and then turning the volume up on that particular part. So, I am all of the characters I've ever played, and I am none of them at the same time.

Everythings a choice. Nobody's born good. Nobody's born evil. It's always a choice.

I think everyone should do what they love because it will never feel like work that way.

I don't think I've ever been face to face with pure evil, so I don't think I've ever seen it with my own eyes. But I do understand human frailty and I do understand the capacity of people to be intermittently noble and virtuous and fallible.

I personally feel that people feel very reassured by nature because it makes us feel small and that's a good thing for human beings and for society.

Don’t judge people on who they used to be. Allow them to be who they are now.

The Night Manager doesn't exist in the post-Cold war universe, it exists much more in the modern world, I think. There is more action. The bad guys don't have particularly political or national-political affiliations.

I am an optimist... I choose to be. There is a lot of darkness in our world, there is a lot of pain and you can choose to see that or you can choose to see the joy. If you try to respond positively to the world, you will spend your time better.

Our job is to represent the truth of human nature, whether you're playing a tender love story that's set in a coffee shop or whether you're in 'The Avengers,' which is set in a Manhattan which is exploding.
