I’d always had quite a privileged lifestyle, to be honest. I’ve never wanted for anything, but I do know the value of things. I’m not, like, a brat.
I wasn’t really big enough when I was filming at school for it to affect anyone too much, but I think my friends that were consistently in my videos during that time definitely got attention that they weren’t anticipating. I’m not quite sure how they felt about it to be honest.
Typically, every 14 to 16 months, we’re putting a new album out. To be honest, I wish it was slower.
As for honours, I’ve had a few along the way, and to be honest, I never expected any of them. I made a good living for decades, and that was enough; that, and maybe a good residual cheque from time to time.
I try to be honest in what I do and in everything I do. I try to be honest with my family.
Let’s be honest: the trappings of investment banking are quite tempting. I do miss it sometimes. And to be honest, there was a time I’d read the ‘WSJ’ in the morning, and for years I have done that.
To be honest, the first time round, I didn’t think ‘Fame Academy’ was the worst premise in the world. You got people on, and they would write songs and develop themselves as artists. But then, instead of getting a little bit more credible, it got a little bit more ridiculous.
My guiding principles in life are to be honest, genuine, thoughtful and caring.
All I will say is that I’m playing a lot of different roles that, to be honest, are more interesting and demanding than any I’ve played before.
To be honest, I am not really excited by most of the offers I get.

To be honest, I don’t have much time to watch any movies.
I think the key for a child to do well in a divorce is, very simply, you have to be honest with them.

I’m not a sci-fi kind of guy, to be honest.
I am not really into paintings, to be honest, but for me, the art I love is when I see singers putting their heart into their song, actors giving the performance of their lives, and books and movies that make me feel something I never thought I could; there’s art in everything as long as it’s made with soul.
You need to be honest, even if you hurt people.
Being asked to describe what ‘post-racial’ means is a bit like being asked to describe a leprechaun, cold fusion or unicorns: we know what is meant, but, if we are willing to be honest, we also know that none of the four describe something real, something tangible, something true.
I love that ‘…Baby One More Time’ video, to be honest; it’s amazing.
To be honest I don’t think I was any great shakes as a theatre actor because everything I was doing was really small in size – intimate.
I’m going to be honest. Up until I started work on Bumble, the ‘f-word’ scared me. People would ask me if I was a feminist, and I didn’t know how to respond. The word seemed to put guys off, but now I realise, who cares?
To be honest I never thought the acting thing would get off the ground.
I really am not overly comfortable with attention to be honest. Paradoxically I’ve noticed this is a pretty common trait amongst actors. You like to let the work speak for you, I think.
We have to be honest and state that Nazis were involved in all Austrian parties after the Second World War: in the Freedom Party, in the Socialist Party, and also in my party.
To be honest, I don’t feel pressure. I honestly don’t feel pressure.
I haven’t had sex in eight months. To be honest, I now prefer to go bowling.
I’ve done a lot of work in Hollywood and theatre, but to be honest, the biggest pleasure I’ve ever got is from the TV single plays I’ve written. It’s a format where you don’t mind saying, ‘I want to tackle some important themes head on.’
To be honest, I struggle with words. I often forget them, you know, the official ones. Instead, I make words up. I use home-made words that sound similar to the real thing. Usually, they’re some sort of confused hybrid of two existing words.
I don’t listen to music when I run; I like the quiet. It gives me time to think about my family, our businesses, the farm – there’s not much I don’t think about, to be honest.
And to be honest, most actors are incredibly solipsistic.
Why do I manage myself? I don’t trust anyone else to do it, to be honest.
I wish, to be honest with you, for African American films that we could get a few more theaters. They only open them in 1500 to 2000 for an opening weekend, and how do you expect us to compete. How can we go to certain box office levels if they don’t give us more theaters?
To be honest, I am scared of acting, and moreover, I want to be perfect on the musical stage first.
You want to be honest with a character and play it truthfully, and you want to be genuine with your character.
To be honest, I’ve always had far too much freedom. I had a job when I was 10. I started living on my own when I was 17 or 18. I’ve earned my own money; I’ve traveled the world. What would I rebel against?
It’s not anti-Catholic to question, nor is it anti-Catholic to be honest about the previous shortcomings of the church, because that is the only way we can ensure its strength and dignity moving forward. It is, however, very Catholic to forgive each other and to never stop loving each other.
I feel like a total hippie right now. I’m passionate about all sorts of things – a lot of boring, cuddly Hallmark things, to be honest.
To be honest, I’ve never been interested in how many games I’ve done and seen. It doesn’t mean anything to anybody. All I know is I’m eternally grateful for having been allowed to work so many games.
I could do nice, but it’s just not as much fun. Being nice isn’t my biggest goal in life. I’m trying to be honest about who I am, and that’s not always nice. I’m not always the world’s cheerleader.
You’ve just got to be honest and straightforward.
To be honest, busking was a massive part of becoming aware of homelessness. I used to run into a lot of ‘Big Issue’ sellers and a lot of people on the street. It really opened my eyes to the kind of life that they live and the options that are open for them – or not, actually.
I’ve got to take a break, to be honest. I’m not even going to lie.
When I was cast as Gendry, I didn’t have any of the physical attributes the part required. I was astounded that I got the role, to be honest.
I don’t accept my business the way it is, to be honest. I don’t like what it’s become. I don’t blame anyone for it becoming the way it has. It’s got its own hideous natural progression, just like world events.
If I’m going to be honest with you, I made a lot of mistakes. I made a lot of mistakes in a very short period of time.
I don’t know why I bring that calmness, and I’m not really aware of it, to be honest. I just come on, smile, and enjoy the moment. If that brings calmness, then great.
I had two experiences. I had a wonderful experience in rehab, and I had a terrible experience in rehab. But, to be honest, in the end, it wasn’t rehab that got me sober. It was just finally surrendering and saying, ‘I don’t want to do this anymore. I can’t do this anymore. Somebody help me.’
I’m not oriented by money, to be honest. Everybody thinks we’re in the music business for money all of the time. But that’s not true for me.
We don’t really talk about music that much, to be honest with you. It’s not some I usually – I can’t really talk about other people’s tracks never mind my own.
So the mask was just really easy, I’ve got to be honest. And it was great actually because it really allowed you to get into the character a little bit more maybe than without it, if that makes sense.
To be honest, I’m probably more of a comedy person, actually. I really enjoy the comedy stuff, and I’ve got some things I’ll be working on that I think are just different ways of combining genres in comedy and drama and action.
To be honest, I’m like a sponge so my inspiration and influences really can come from anywhere.
Growing up, I’ve had plenty of obstacles, but to be honest, I didn’t always have doubters. I was a standout athlete, so when that happens, you don’t have too many people telling you ‘You can’t do this,’ and ‘You can’t do that.’ I’ve always been a bit of a people person and a hard worker.
I got into psychology simply because that’s what my sister did, and I grew up in a family that was very, like, ‘Follow your sister’s footsteps.’ I went to the same school she went to, did the same degree she did… really had no interest in it, to be honest.
I don’t really try to give out advice, to be honest.
To be honest, sometimes I’m horrified because you don’t really know what you look like. If I really knew what I was doing on-screen, I would try to stop doing it.
There are some things that, if you say them out loud, will hurt the other person’s feelings. I tend to say them anyway. It’s better to be honest.
I’d fight for free to be honest with you.
Soccer players in L.A. can kind of just walk the streets. They have bigger people to take pictures of. They see Sylvester Stallone walking down the street, I don’t think they are going to want an Ashley Cole picture, to be honest.
