I love writing, and I think I'm kind of a workaholic. I'm happiest when I'm working.
I'm a slow worker; I'm, I think, a steady worker.
I don't think about art when I'm working. I try to think about life.
I think there's a difference between a working actor, a movie star and a celebrity. They're all three different things.
I have friends who are movie stars, and I think it's just as hard a job as being a working actor. But it's a different job, and it's not the one I want.
I'm not particularly fond of playing villains. I do want to be a working actor, and I've had to look at what was offered to me, what roles I could get, and what I could do with them. Even though I'm not drawn to putting those kinds of darker characters out there, I think it's an interesting challenge.
I concentrate, more than I think virtually any comic book artist has in the past, on the so-called mundane details of every day life - quotidian life. What happens to a person during a working day, marital relations, and stuff like that.
Certainly in the theatre, you never have to get up before 10 A.M., and when filming, though you do have to get up terribly early, you usually get to lie down a lot during the working day. I thought my semi-bedridden existence was a choice. But now I think that actually, in fact, I must always have been depressed.
I think it's easier to identify with guys who are just trying to make a living and working day to day.
Hey, you got something going here. I think we've got a chance for some progressive policy that actually focuses on poor and working people.
I think that people who live in cultures without quite so much privilege, opportunity or grandiosity have a little bit more respect for the workings of destiny, and the limitations that people can find themselves in through no fault of their own.
I think it's fun to get in a room and sweat with people. I'm happy to share my workouts with everyone.
When I'm touring, I have to think of workouts that don't require a gym.
I think if you're going to master policy, especially world affairs, you've got to know history.
I think my songs serve a purpose in a very therapeutic way to do with relationships, very different to do with my opinions on world affairs.
I want to eradicate poverty. I think that there's a tremendous passion for that inside the World Bank.
I think Cormier's one of the greatest to ever do it. Two-time, two-division world champion.
It's not been a bad life, and I do know that I could never have been a world champion. All I ever wanted to do was be the best I could with what I had, which wasn't very much, really. And that's what I think I did.
That makes me think of the 2002 World Cup Final above all else. Nobody thought at the time that our team would get through to the Final against Brazil. We should remember that this summer.
I think my form dipped after the Six Nations in 2007, from the World Cup onwards.
