When Julia and I broke up and I was really scared to go into a market or anywhere because I thought, ‘Oh God, everyone must hate me. And that wasn’t the case. People said, ‘I’m sorry this happened, man. Are you alright?’
I think I’ll die underrated, but it’s alright, man.
Religion works. I know there’s comfort there, a crash pad. It’s something to explain the world and tell you there is something bigger than you, and it is going to be alright in the end. It works because it’s comforting.
I always, always go to my brother Rhys’s house whenever something goes wrong and he’ll always say ‘you’ll be alright, forget about it.’
Well, I have to say, I used to spend a lot of time looking at cat videos on the internet. It’s like YouTube have sent me an e-mail asking if I’m alright because I haven’t been on in ages.
I’ve always wanted to make people feel better or feel alright or feel comfortable or not threatened and feel OK in their own skin.
I always wanted to do good work, but not in order to buy big houses and big cars. I just wanted to be ‘alright’, to have enough money to be able to live on, to go to the cinema when I wanted to, and buy the books I wanted to read.
I’m a writer and director, and I like to do that, but for some reason, it’s become part of the industry and part of the job to go, ‘Alright, let’s talk about it!’
As long as you keep getting born, it’s alright to die some times.
The thing where I thought I made it was when I paid my house off. It wasn’t actually a moment on stage – it was the first bit of financial security. It was the first time I looked at my house, and it was all paid off, and I thought, ‘Alright. Jokes paid for this.’
It was right after I dropped the song ‘Don’t,’ and it started to go viral a little bit. That’s when I was like, ‘Alright, I might have something here.’ Actually, I wasn’t even going to quit my job, but Timbaland called me – we have a mutual friend – and he was like, ‘Yo man, you need to work in Miami.’
Every time you get a movie, you get a medical. So you know, you know you’re alright for a couple of weeks.
Everything would be alright if everything was put back in the hands of the people, and we’re going to have to put it back in the hands of the people.
I just trust people and they sense everything’s gonna be alright.
‘Lost’ did alright, you know. Not that I didn’t get into it – I just never watched enough of them; but the uphill battle is that you’ve got to stay tuned.
Probably the only type of cosmetic surgery I’d consider is having my bust reduced. It’s alright for my current role in ‘The Marquise’ because it’s a costume drama, which means boned corsets and a bit of cleavage, but it’s a drag otherwise.
I just think about how much worse something could be, and I’m like, ‘Alright, cool, whatever.’ I’m nonchalant.
I tell people all the time, ‘As long as my kids are doing good, I’m gonna be alright.’
I’d like to avoid the environmental apocalypse if I could. Zombies, robots – I don’t know – I’d probably do alright hidden in the middle of the herd and sacrificing people to keep myself alive, but where you gonna hide when all the food is gone?
I don’t like telling people where I stand on this, although I’m surprised anybody wonders. I suppose if I say I’m pro-choice, if I make that clear, it let’s the audience off the hook, then they can sort of relax. Okay, it’s alright he’s pro-choice then I can enjoy this.
I’ve always been very hard on myself, and I never want to get to a point where I’m like, ‘Alright, I’m kicking butt,’ but I know I need to be confident because I think that will take my game to the next level.
It’s OK not to understand the whole trans thing. That’s alright. My dad didn’t understand it. I still don’t know everything. What’s important is you sort of educate yourself on your own time, but you have to respect it on everyone else’s time. Because no one should have to wait for equality.
I used to be really comfortable with my body until I started hearing from people I didn’t even know who have no relevance to me saying, ‘You’re ugly. You’re fat. You’re old.’ And I thought, ‘Hold on – I was doing alright until you piped up.’
Probably the only type of cosmetic surgery I’d consider is having my bust reduced. It’s alright for my current role in ‘The Marquise’ because it’s a costume drama, which means boned corsets and a bit of cleavage, but it’s a drag otherwise.
When I was on stage, I was like, ‘This is alright. This is good.’
I think there comes a time when you start dropping expectations. Because the world doesn’t owe you anything, and you don’t owe the world anything in return. Things, feelings, are a very simple transaction. If you get it, be grateful. If you don’t, be alright with it.
