As a musician myself, it annoys the hell out of me to watch an actor trying to play a guitar out of time with the music.

Cornwall has lots of folk and Celtic music and has that kind of surfer vibe as well. That was my kind of upbringing.

I am a self-taught guitarist. I just try to piece together passages that have some melodic value!

My family runs a little art gallery back in Cornwall, so flashy cars and things like that have never really been particularly interesting to me.

If you break up with a girlfriend or a boyfriend, you're in this vulnerable state where you're still kind of half in the relationship with them, but you're single, and it takes a while to feel solid in yourself again.

I have always been terrified of the death of my parents. I never knew if I could count on myself. I never knew if that would send me over the edge.

It's time to stop obsessing about overhead and start focusing on progress. Change charity, and charity can change the world.

Silence, you know, is the best place to get close to spirit for me.

And when your phone rings, pick it up. Open yourself up to the possibility a phone call offers. Discover this remarkable device called the telephone. It will give you a serious competitive advantage.

It has been said that love is a function of communication. I believe that to be true. I believe, by extension, that human understanding is a function of communication. And the better human beings understand one another, the higher the level of functioning.

It's time to re-think charity. It's time to give charity the big-league freedoms we really give to business. The fight for these freedoms must be our new cause, because without them, all of our causes are ultimately lost.

We aren't upset when Paramount makes a $200 million movie that flops, but if a charity experiments with a $5 million fundraising event that fails, we call in the attorneys. So charities are petrified of trying bold new revenue-generating endeavors and can't develop the powerful learning curves the for-profit sector can.

You used to be able to just call people. You didn't have to be on someone's calendar to have a phone conversation. The telephone was an important and valuable domain of communication, both for casual, friendly chats and for professional exchanges of ideas and information. But no more.
