I love both the sun and the moon, day and night. But I enjoy the day the most because I live in Rio and I can play sports.

Happy Birthday: Richard Armitage

I try to be quite a detailed actor. People were really picking up on that. Even if it was just a flicker of the eye or something, they got it.

You can spend a bit of yourself when you give yourself to a character.

At the end of a job, you have to remind yourself who and what you are.

Live acting is a kind of adventure sport. I don’t go abseiling or snowboarding, but I sometimes think that stepping out on stage can have the same kind of adrenaline rush.

Happy Birthday: Kristen Wiig

It’s a mystery to me what makes people laugh.

I love the rain. It’s my favorite weather.

At parties, I’ll start talking and notice everyone is looking at me and feel dumb and say, ‘Forget it,’ and then start eating things.

If you’re creating anything at all, it’s really dangerous to care about what people think.

I can relate to having those people in your life that you feel are moving on to this great, big, normal life and you’re like, ‘What’s wrong with me?’

Happy Birthday: Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje

I’ve never been really great at trusting anybody, just because of the way I grew up. I was always led to believe you should take care of yourself, trust in your abilities and you’re the author of your own destiny. Coming to this show is the opposite.” – talking about “Lost

The only way you can influence your fate is to put your soul into your performance and hope it registers with the audience.

Happy Birthday: Kenny Rogers

[on performing with Dolly Parton] Working with Dolly is a great rush for me because we are good friends, and we have been, forever. We just flirted a lot. I can’t explain it, but flirting is more electric than passion. It’s the anticipation. She does it better than anybody I’ve ever seen, and it’s just good fun.

Happy Birthday: Peter Weir

(Referring to the restroom murder scene in Witness (1985): It was the most violent scene I’ve ever filmed. I still wonder if it was too violent, but I did want to have an outrage over the violence that occured in front of those innocent eyes [of the Amish boy character].

[on Sex and the City (1998)] The show is celebrating what it’s like to be a woman. We do things people think about but don’t vocalize. It gives men and women permission to talk in a way that is healthy.
