“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news. My mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of ‘disaster,’ I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers - so many caring people in this world.”
“When he learned that I was being appointed, Steven cut short his holidays to see me. He knocked on the door when I first arrived at the club. He said that he and Jamie Carragher would be 150 per cent behind everything I did. But in reality it has been more like 200 per cent. They respect the role of the manager and all that goes with it.”

“One of my close friends was giving me stick about my hair before the game, and said that I might score the winner with my head today. The penalty was the winner but I think the header actually won us the game, so he was right in the end. That’s what the celebration was about.”

“Remus Lupin was supposed to be on the H.I.V. metaphor. It was someone who had been infected young, who suffered stigma, who had a fear of infecting others, who was terrified he would pass on his condition to his son. And it was a way of examining prejudice, unwarranted prejudice towards a group of people. And also, examining why people might become embittered when they’re treated that unfairly.”

- Helen Mirren, beautiful in every way it’s possible for a human to be beautiful. 
“I felt so bad [for Kristen]. I just wanted to pick her up, put her in my arms and carry her onto the stage. Or maybe not: I probably would have dropped her and opened her wound again! I felt like [meeting her] was a long time coming. I feel like we’ve been meant to meet. This was the perfect way. And you know what? She is so nice—really, really nice.”

“In creating Frodo, Tolkien may well have been thinking back to the First World War and the lads who went on a terrible journey from which many never returned. Elijah reminds me of those statues of idealised young men on war-memorials throughout the world: more sublime than human and with a complexion of molten marble. He is simply terrific… To have a leading man who is attentive to everybody and so genuinely interested in everybody, and so good-natured, is a very good emotional center for the cast. I was very impressed by the way he handled that. When you think of the monsters who might have landed that part and been absolutely horrendous to work with, well, it just redoubled how lucky we were to have had Elijah. He’s a sweet man and a very good actor… Elijah looks angelic but his beauty of spirit is what makes his Frodo leap out of the screen. Unalloyed goodness is one of the most difficult attributes to act.”
