I Always Thought Of Running As Just

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.

I Feel As Though The Cardboard Box Of My Own Reality Has Been Flattened And Blown Open. Now I Can See The Edge Of The World.

Some Of The Greatest Actors Have Turned Superheroes Into A Serious Business: Michael Keaton And Jack Nicholson In Batman; Ian Mckellen And Patrick Stewart, The First Venerable Knights Of The X-men, Who Have Now Passed The Baton To Michael Fassbender And James Mcavoy.

My Father And I Used To Tussle About Me Becoming An Actor. He's From Strong, Presbyterian Scottish Working-class Stock, And He Used To Sit Me Down And Say, 'you Know, 99 Percent Of Actors Are Out Of Work. You've Been Educated, So Why Do You Want To Spend Your Life Pretending To Be Someone Else When You Could Be Your Own Man?'

If You Can Run Around The Corner And Say Hello To Someone Do That Instead Of Emailing. It's Always More Rewarding; The Connection Is Always More Authentic. If You've Got Something To Say And You Can Say It Someone's Face, It's So Much Better, Healthier.
