Johnny Depp

• ...These two things are opposing, they oppose one another. To be a director you have to be in complete control of the set, complete control of the surroundings, and very aware of what's going on, what's being used and what's not being used... It's insanity. To be an actor you have to be, in a sense, out of control.
• Me, I'm dishonest, and you can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to watch out for...

Clint Eastwood

• I don't believe in pessimism. If something doesn't come up the way you want, forge ahead. If you think it's going to rain, it will.
• I tried being reasonable, I didn't like it.

Mark Wahlberg
I never lie. I believe everything I say, so it's not a lie.
John Wayne
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.
Joseph Fiennes

• I love new writing, new blood, modern works by unknown writers.
• I've got a vendetta to destroy the Net, to make everyone go to the library. I love the organic thing of pen and paper, ink on canvas. I love going down to the library, the feel and smell of books.

Colin Ferrell
I'll be in Los Angeles for two weeks and I'll have a laugh, get battered and have a buzz, but at the end of the day, I'll go home. It's just me earning a few more stories to tell everyone at home and all.
Hugh Laurie
To be able to pretend to be something that I'm frankly not is very liberating and exciting.

Boy George
I try to exist in a world where there is freedom of opinion, where you're allowed to make jokes. I don't want to live in some PC world where no-one's allowed to say anything.
Morgan Freeman
If you're playing somebody who is not you, then you can imagine that you are that person. You can feel like he feels, move like he moves, look like he looks - in your own mind.
Ian McKellan
Try and understand what part you have to play in the world in which you live. There's more to life than you know and it's all happening out there. Discover what part you can play and then go for it.
Liam Neeson

• Sitting down to eat in our house is about sharing, you know, talking about the day you've had, be it in school or work or whatever, so that's very important to us.
• Some mornings you wake up and think, gee I look handsome today. Other days I think, what am I doing in the movies? I wanna go back to Ireland and drive a forklift.

President John F. Kennedy

• For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.
• I'm an idealist without illusions.
• If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
• If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.

Bob Dylan

• May you grow up to be righteous, may you grow up to be true. May you always know the truth and see the lights surrounding you. May you always be courageous, stand upright and be strong. May you stay forever young.
• A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.
• All I can do is be me, whoever that is.

Paul McCartney

• I don't take me seriously. If we get some giggles, I don't mind.
• I think people who create and write, it actually does flow-just flows from into their head, into their hand, and they write it down. It's simple.
• I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird.
