When I was a teenager in Iceland people would throw rocks and shout abuse at me because they thought I was weird. I never got that in London no matter what I wore.
In Reykjavik, Iceland, where I was born, you are in the middle of nature surrounded by mountains and ocean. But you are still in a capital in Europe. So I have never understood why I have to choose between nature or urban.
I was 13 when I had my first bout of insomnia. My family was in Reykjavik, Iceland, for the summer, and day never really became night.
I would never say I was an icon, but so many people have said I am, so I suppose I am. I mean, I can't not be what everyone says I am. But I don't feel like an icon.
In an ideal world, you'd never have to do things that are below your position, but this isn't an ideal world, and it's never going to be.
Nixon is fascinating because he's our most alienated president. Everybody felt that they never knew who he was - that's palpable in the histories. His face is so cartoony that he's become this cartoon figure. I never really related to the romanticization of J.F.K., and I knew too much about Reagan to idealize him. Nixon falls in between.
Faith is never identical with piety.
The single best thing about Mars is the reduced gravity. It's 38 percent of Earth's gravity - about one third. Almost never have you seen that portrayed in film or television. Mars is just portrayed as a place that's got reddish sand but is otherwise pretty much identical to the Mojave Desert, and that's not the case.
I love young people. I identify with them. It never was a goal of mine to grow up.
It's a slight stretch of the imagination but most people are alike in most ways so I've never had any trouble identifying with the character that I'm playing.
In the end, we will never, ever be able to guarantee that there will not be an Edward Snowden or another Chelsea Manning because this is a large enterprise composed of human beings with all their idiosyncrasies.
People should never worship images. The spread of mental darkness is due to the prevalence of idolatry.
Getting to share the ring with guys I idolized is never going to stop being surreal for me.
I've never tried to emulate anyone. I've never idolized people, I prefer instead to get off on attitudes.
If you've never quit anything, you really ought to try. And if at first you don't succeed, try again.
If I could always read, I should never feel the want of company.
If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were.
Most important thought, if you love someone, tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store.
Declines in specific industries can never ignite a general depression. Shifts in data will cause increases in activity in one field, declines in another.
The claim that too many criminals are being jailed, that there is over-incarceration, ignores an unfortunate fact: For the vast majority of crimes, a perpetrator is never identified or arrested, let alone prosecuted, convicted and jailed.
