Literature is the art of discovering something extraordinary about ordinary people and saying with ordinary words something extraordinary.

Although all the good arts serve to draw man's mind away from vices and lead it toward better things this function can be more fully performed by this art which also provides extraordinary intellectual pleasure.

Cinema is still a very young art form with extraordinary techniques and very impressive special effects but sometimes it seems the soul has been taken out of things.

Anyone who relishes art should love the extraordinary diversity and psychic magic of our art galleries. There's likely more combined square footage for the showing of art on one New York block - West 24th Street between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues - than in all of Amsterdam's or Hamburg's galleries.

To me photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.

When I'm in London Claridge's is a great favourite. I'm a big fan of art deco architecture and the rooms are extraordinary.

I think 'Game of Thrones' was extraordinary. I want to do some period pieces. It would be lovely to tell great stories that is my main ambition. And to be working with amazing creators.

They say it's good but I didn't know what I was doing until I got into the suit and they put the moustache on me and somehow when I got all the drag on it came out. It was the most amazing thing. I'm truly extraordinary.

I just did a part in 'Sin City 2.' I got to do a scene with Ray Liotta. Amazing man extraordinary gentleman who was just so kind to me... I'm so excited about that I think it's gonna be very cool.

I wanted to raise the voice of a lot of the people that I knew growing up and this was for the most part poor people who had extraordinary dreams but also very amazing obstacles.
