Oscar Wilde always makes me smile - with respect and admiration. His short stories prove that it is possible to be both sarcastic, even cynical, but deeply compassionate. Just seeing the cover of one of Wilde's books in a bookshop makes me smile.
The poor Oscars - they always get slammed in the press.
I had always wanted to make music on a big scale but never knew how it was going happen - until I saw a band in Oslo called Bridges. I was stunned. They had everything. The only thing they didn't have was me. I knew I needed to join, not for my own sake but for the band's. I knew I was a necessary ingredient.
Throughout my career, even as a very young actor, people have always said to me that they would like to see my Othello. They could see something of him in me, I suppose.
'Othello' was my first Shakespearean discovery. I was obsessed with drama at school, and I studied the play for my English GCSE. Desdemona is the part that everyone wants, but Iago's wife Emilia is the one I've always been drawn to.
What I remember as a child is that other kids didn't care about suffering. I always did.
I've always loved hip-hop, since I was a kid, that's the music that I loved. I think everyone of our generation kind of fantasized about hip-hop in some ways.
We'd like to think that our music will always be bigger than any one of our individual personalities.
Girls always make our music go. They set the trends. It starts with the ladies.
I always viewed myself as kind of hip-hop’s outcast, or hip-hop’s stepson.
Especially when the expectations become so high of you, you always remember the last record that might have been really successful, and you're trying to outdo that or trying to make something that does not sound like the last record.
I have always wanted to outdo myself, be it films or shows.
I've always been interested in working with top athletes, athletes who are pushing the edge and are really progressive in the outdoor space and adventure world.
I always loved the signs on the outfield walls, and I'll never forget the one in Philadelphia. It said, 'The Phillies use Lifebuoy soap,' and underneath was scrawled, 'And they still stink.'
I've always put everybody else's child first before my own health, before my own outfit, before my own time frame.
Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie and The Sex Pistols may come and go, but rebellion remains a key part of the rock n' roll experience. However, that rebellion - the outgrowth of a youthful search for independence and identity - doesn't always take the same form.
Shopping in Mumbai is always an outing with friends.
Deep down, my ego always thought that I would outlast a lot of people that I was competing against.
You might not be the greatest rapper or singer, but the businessman always outlasts the talent.
I always have a basic plot outline, but I like to leave some things to be decided while I write.
