I always accessorise with jewellery. I am a bit of a magpie; I love sparkles, and so wearing jewellery makes me feel more exciting and confident, too!

When I died my hair red the first time, I felt as if it was what nature intended. I have been accused of being a bit of a spitfire, so in that way, I absolutely...

Turkey is fine, but if I don’t have the sides, forget about it. And cornbread stuffing is at the center of my plate. I will have about six sides and then a little bit of...

I think the happiest time of my life was when I was in my late teens. I was a little bit of an it-girl. Making myself seen. And it was a wonderful time to be...

Life can be less mysterious than we make it out to be when we try to think about how it would be on other planets. And if we remove the mystery of life, then I...

I have never been afraid to go a bit out there with what I am wearing on film. I tend to be a bit more conservative in real life, with mountains of black in my...

I only wash my jeans every eight months. I’ve got a pair by Nudie, and you’re not supposed to wash them for eight months at a time to preserve the colour. They’re really dark denim....

So I observe life a little bit, rather than participating in it.

Everything about video games has changed. The writing, the acting, the visuals, obviously – everything has gone to a new level. And the difference that I see as an actor is that I don’t have...

I get obsessed with decorations and decorating the house. I keep it tasteful outside, but when you get inside it is a bit like Blackpool illuminations, I go bonkers!

There’s a way you have to play the quarterback position in the NFL. Maybe I’m a little bit old school, but I think you have to play the game in the pocket with consistency.

Beating Pakistan is always special because they are a tough team and we have a bit if a history regarding Pakistan.

Obviously, matches and all that stuff takes its toll on your body and so forth. But as you get sort of a bit older, a bit wiser, and a bit more experienced, you know also...

I’ve consciously taken on material that’s a bit too much for me but not an overreach. The first movie, just about performances. ‘The Town,’ I learned how to work broader material, develop tension, direct bigger...

I had a dialect coach to get an American accent, and then another dialect coach to come off it a bit. There is something deep and mysterious in the voice when it isn’t too high-pitched...

It is a bit frustrating. Things come and go in television. At the moment they’ve gone.

I have a tendency to go through my life at full speed and as a one-man band, and so I don’t generally stop and take in other people enough to develop many relationships. I’m starting...

I just like to stay a little quiet and just do my own thing. If I win a little more, I think I’ll get a little bit more attention.

Boarding school in Tring was a bit of a bubble that burst when I went to Hackney to go to drama school.

You get spoiled as a novelist because you get to be the director and the editor, and you play all the parts, but as a screenwriter, you are a bit down the ladder.

Mostly I do Iyengar. I like anything that’s hard enough to make me cry in class. I like to be pushed over my limit and broken down a little bit.

It’s nice to have boundaries, because as long as we have them, we can cross them a bit, and that’s what perks interest. If you have full freedom, what do you do?

I grew up in Michigan, so I played hockey, football and basketball. I played a little bit of lacrosse, too. My brother played more lacrosse and ran track.

Democracy, it appears, is a bit chancy. But its chances also depend on what we do ourselves.

I’m a little bit of a geek – I have to be the first person to get new things when they come out. I always want to buy and try new gadgets.

It becomes more important to me as time goes on to make every album the best thing I’ve ever done, so it’s a lot of self-imposed pressure that also kind of slows me down a...

My first inclination is to be a bit skeptical about the claims that human-produced carbon dioxide is the direct contributor to global warming.

For my own style, I love vintage. 60’s and 70’s are my favorite. I love baby doll dresses and the soft colors. I try to mix a little bit of modern into that – maybe...

Like any other boy in the world that does a little bit of rough-and-tumble and playing around when they’re a kid, who doesn’t want to be an action star at some point?

I have a buddy of mine who’s a musician, and I play guitar and sing quite a bit with him.

I do these conventions sometimes. We’ve been doing a lot of ‘The Vampire Diaries’ conventions, but I do Comic-Con and stuff all over the world. They can be taxing, and they can take it out...

I think of myself more as a character actor than that ingenue leading lady, who started out something like Michelle Pfeiffer, or Jessica Lange. I’m a bit quirkier than that.

I befriend people too quickly – I don’t think that’s wrong, but I get told that I should be a bit more careful.

I would say that I definitely play a different role with my style; I like to mix it up a bit according to wherever I am. I dress differently in New York, L.A., Paris and...

I had a weimaraner for 11 years called China, and he was a great dog, a bit mad. They’re massive, weimaraners; they’ve got big floppy ears. They look like a pointer, but they’re liver-coloured.

The violence seems to be diminishing. They’ve stared into the abyss a bit. I think they’ve all concluded that further violence… is not in their interests.

In TV, and in particular in commercials, you don’t really need to explain very much at all – you just say he’s a spy and he’s a little bit theatrical and overblown and smug and...

I played the trumpet a bit like a porker, I think.

I burn very easily, so if I forget sunscreen, I will be a tomato by the end of the day. I’m very big on sunscreen and hats. I grew up in Florida, and I love...

I always found the appeal to the market gods a bit odd. Why would the market fix mistakes instead of aggravating them?

I’m drawn to punk. I’m drawn to samba a bit. I don’t think there’s a type of music I’m not drawn to. Lykke Li I really like. Holy Sons I still can’t get enough of.

I think the years leading up to 21 were a bit more fun than 21 and beyond might be.

I wasn’t trying to be a role model with ‘The Dutchess,’ but suddenly, seeing little girls in the audience with their moms made me think about what I do onstage a little bit more. I...

You bring a little bit of yourself into every character you play. We’re multifaceted creatures.

Oh, my goodness, when you’re a mother and you just give birth to a child with spina bifida and – or Down’s Syndrome or cerebral palsy, there’s a bit of a shock you’re going to...

There seems to be more opportunities for old guys like me to do a little fighting and running because the lead characters also require a bit of depth and maturity and gravitas that one is...

You know, there’s that temptation in interviews to make yourself sound – well, to give yourself a bit of mystery.

The winter’s a little bit daunting in Montana.

I don’t want to, in any way, characterize a race or a people or get accused of racial profiling, but the Irish, as lyrical and romantic as they can be in their poetry, they can...

Unfortunately, the mechanism for doing philanthropy in a structured way isn’t yet in place in India. I already do a fair bit and support various causes such as education, sanitation, health. But selling costly drugs...
