Personal Quotes

Showing young children in these communities, that there are outlets for their feelings, that there is room in a space for their stories to be told, and that they will be applauded-and it's not about ego, it's about connection: that their pain is everybody else's pain.

Never stop. Never stop fighting. Never stop dreaming. And don't be afraid of wearing your heart on your sleeve - in declaring the films that you love, the films that you want to make, the life that you've had, and the lives you can help reflect in cinema. For myself, for a long time... maybe I felt inauthentic or something, I felt like my voice wasn't worth hearing, and I think everyone's voice is worth hearing. So if you've got something to say, say it from the rooftops.

I am very proud of my work for the BBC, but I never wanted to stay stuck in the past. Loki has set me free from a particular casting type. But the work is the same. Rigor, discipline, humility, punctuality, above all: truthfulness. [CNN.com, 9 May 2012]

[on working on "War Horse" and "Midnight in Paris"] I'm enormously proud of it because I'm a significant part of both those films.

[on being directed by Steven Spielberg and Woody Allen for their Oscar-nominated movies] It was a massive honor to work with Woody and Steven.

I'm so moved and humbled by [the fans] responses to The Hollow Crown and Henry IV. I've never worked harder on anything in my life. It means the world.

[on being a part of a movement of young and interesting British actors] If I'm a part of it, I'm flattered. It's interesting, because I used to look up for inspiration, like every actor does, to people like Daniel Day-LewisRobert De NiroKenneth Branagh... Now I look sideways. I worked withBenedict Cumberbatch on 'War Horse', then he went off to do 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy'. He was so good. I was so proud to call him my friend - it's one of the most electrifying performances by an actor this year. Tom Hardy - he's doing things that I think no British actor has ever done. His performance in 'Warrior' was visceral, pure and muscular, and it made me cry. Michael Fassbender has had an annus mirabilis with 'A Dangerous Method' and his studio breakthrough in 'X-Men: First Class', where, hands down, he and James McAvoy were the best things in it.

To have compassion for a character is no different from having compassion for another human being.

I gave myself permission to care, because there are a lot of people in this world who are afraid of caring, or afraid of showing that they care because it's uncool. It's uncool to have passion. It's so much easier to lose when you've shown everyone how much you don't care if you win or lose. It's much harder to lose when you show that you care, but, you'll never win, unless you also stand to lose. Don't be afraid of your passion.
