But groundless hope like unconditional love is the only kind worth having.

Acting is something I love. It's a great craft that I have a lot of respect for. But I don't think it's any greater challenge than teaching 8-year-olds or any other career. In my life I try not to make it more important than it is and I just hope that rubs off on the people around me.

Like any good tree that one would hope to grow we must set our roots deep into the ground so that what is real will prosper in the Light of Love.

It is the around-the-corner brand of hope that prompts people to action while the distant hope acts as an opiate.

I just hope that our fans are people who are inspired by music and just use our music as a background or inspiration for whatever it is they do.

You can't go around hoping that most people have sterling moral characters. The most you can hope for is that people will pretend that they do.

I spend plenty of time in London and it doesn't scare me but it's a lonely place even if you've got friends there. My job takes me all around the world meeting lots of interesting people. But I think if I couldn't get home if I couldn't get back to what I consider my real life I'd be frightened.

Land is the secure ground of home the sea is like life the outside the unknown.

We have three generations at home including my father-in-law. I keep a very low profile and a lot of things I do are very much with the family in mind. I have actually made films with the family around me.

You can't control the paparazzi. But if you go to Coachella you're going to get photographed. Whereas if you're at home walking down the street you probably won't. It's something I've learnt to navigate my way around but I try to keep my private life private.
