I'm an all-or-nothing guy. When I'm working, I work, work, work, work, work, and when I'm not, I'm the laziest sloth this planet has ever provided us.
We've had some Presidents who were pretty lazy.
There's a lot of whiners in every crowd.
Nobody's impressed back home. All my friends were going, 'Oh right, so you're doing a play up in Leeds? Another depressing one is it? Do you mind if we don't bother coming?' I love that.
Ninety percent of the time when I'm working, there's this very palpable sensation that I'm doing everything wrong and should just give up.
When I'm not thrilled, I get funny.
I was perhaps the worst student you have ever seen. You know, I thought I was stupid, all my classmates thought I was stupid, so there was general agreement.
There was a day where I was sitting at my desk, working 90-hour work weeks, in a suit, looking at a computer, with all these pitch books on my desk, and I just thought, 'This can't be my life.'
For me, school was a nightmare. I struggled.
This man will never finish anything. He thinks about the end before he thinks about the beginning.

I think people in Europe are generally pessimistic about the future. They have low expectations; they're not working hard to change things. When you're a slacker with a pessimistic view of the future, you're likely to meet those expectations.
I saw Sadat as a character out of Aida. He talked a lot but never acted. I didn’t take him seriously.
I'm not very happy idle.
Acting had become something I did and did well - but didn't particularly enjoy.
The man who lets himself be bored is even more contemptible than the bore.
I could give a flying flip about doing promo because, no disrespect, nobody put me in the position that I'm in.
When I'm not feeling something, I have a very hard time doing it.
When I was at graduate school, you wouldn't have recognised me. I was so different - and not a nice person: a grumpy, surly, upset, confused, lost person.
I never imagine myself as anything. I've never had a goal or any future vision at all. I just do what's in front of me.
We're a lazy, undisciplined generation. I don't exempt myself: I spend way too much, even though I make a good income.
I'm bored. I'm not unprofessional. I'm just bored.
My weak spot is laziness. Oh, I have a lot of weak spots: cookies, croissants.
'Slacker' is so not about navel-gazing.
Confident. Cocky. Lazy. Dead.
Idleness is the heaviest of all oppressions.
