There's no hope of me becoming completely relaxed on stage. If I did I'd sit down and doze off.

There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.

Before I do a play I say that I hope it's going to be for as short a time as possible but once you do it it is a paradoxical pleasure. One evening out of two there are five minutes of a miracle and for those five minutes you want to do it again and again. It's like a drug.

Well I've been reading a lot about the fifty years since the Second World War about Western foreign policy and all that. I try not to let it get to me but sometimes I just think that there's no hope.

I gather from a lawyer that there was a rehearsal yesterday. We haven't a hope. I know the presiding judge too: I've had the misfortune to sleep with his wife. He was specially picked.

To not be self-conscious of your appearance is huge and something that I desperately hope to carry into film at some point in my useless life - to not be thinking 'My ear looks weird from this angle why is the camera over there?'

It's part of the calling to at least do a few songs in the show that give people some hope. There's so much hurt in this world and... music is such a great healing balm and a great way to forget your troubles.

If we are going to stay a great power and I hope and pray we will we need the truth. We need to know what is going right and we need to know what is going wrong. There is no greater time than now.

I do insist on making what I hope is sense so there's always a coherent narrative or argument that the reader can follow.

There's hope for everyone. That's what makes the world go round.

There was a moment in my life when I really wanted to kill myself. And there was one other moment when I was close to that. But even in my most jaded times I had some hope.

'A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints' was the first real actor-actor part I did and I hope I to do more. Action movies are fun but I'd be happy not to do them if there are better roles.

Jim Thorpe is someone I've always loved. He was an Olympic athlete you know and a football player from back in the day. I'd love to play him. And then there's a guy called Iceman who was a top hit man for the mob. I would love to play him. Actually it's sort of in the works so I hope it goes through.

I know where I'm going and I have told the French. I am sure if hope is there we will be able to put France back on its feet... to live better in five years than we do today.

I really feel confident about my dancing now so I hope there could be a place for me in the West End or on Broadway - maybe a musical maybe my own show.

In both children and adults there can be a hard-to-deny link between a robust sense of hope and either work productivity or academic achievement.

I have learned from my experiences in this industry that there is absolutely no way to control people's opinions on your performance in your movie. You go out there promote your film and hope people like the work you did.
