"Acting, the arts in general, is a magnet for the wounded of society." ― Robert Carlyle Topic(s): Society More From Robert Carlyle "I don’t take a great deal of interest in party politics. Social politics interests me a great deal more." "Acting is probably the greatest therapy in the world. You can get a lot stuff out of you on the set so you don’t have to take it home with you at night. It’s the stuff between the lines, the empty space between those lines which is interesting." "In the late ’70s, maybe just before I started, there was still an attitude that if you did film you didn’t do TV and vice versa, but that’s gone now." More In Society "Without intervention today, the cost of care for adults with autism will be significantly greater and the burden will no longer lie with the parents, but on our entire society."― Jenny McCarthy "We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so the moment after death."― Nathaniel Hawthorne "Writing is a solitary occupation. Family, friends, and society are the natural enemies of the writer. He must be alone, uninterrupted, and slightly savage if he is to sustain and complete an undertaking."― Jessamyn West
