Dan Stevens's quotes

• The comfort zone is the great enemy to creativity; moving beyond it necessitates intuition, which in turn configures new perspectives and conquers fears.
• We take so many of our freedoms for granted nowadays - I can travel where I like, I can have a baby when I like, I can do any job I want - but I do think chivalry has been lost a little bit.
• The female attention I have to struggle hardest with is from my two-year-old daughter.
• Soap opera seems to be a dirty word, but actually they are the most popular shows we have. People want to know what happens next, people hate the villains and love the lovers. It's good, fun TV. But I wouldn't call 'Downton' a soap opera as such.
• In the 21st century, I think it's fair to say, homosexuality is more accepted in Britain and it's wonderful that my generation has been able to grow up with that.
• I've had to learn when not to tweet. Like, you learn how to keep your mouth shut? Learn to keep your tweet shut.
• All my early school reports from the age of 5 were 'Daniel must learn not to distract others.'
• I don't see money or a particular status as an actor as a goal, but I want to do the best work I can in as interesting a range of roles as I can.
• I'm a huge fan of '80s music.
• It's nice to get your glad rags on for awards like the Baftas, but it doesn't happen all the time.
• Everything's so accelerated now.
• Books are my weakness.
• Not a lot of people would think that I spent most of my early years totally rebelling against anything I could, getting suspended from school, going on demonstrations.
• At the age of 11 I was about 6 ft. tall and my voice had completely broken. That caused problems. I was this gangly, spotty, very unattractive kid. I wasn't cool and I wasn't a nerd. I didn't even want to fit in with anyone.
• You can be romantically interested in someone and love them and still, I think, be really interested in things and a certain lifestyle that person might provide.
• I saw Mercury Prize-winners Alt-J for the first time recently, touring their debut album 'An Awesome Wave,' and I'm still riding the high: they're the most musically dynamic and exciting band to have poured tune into my lug holes live since Bellowhead.
• Planet Earth (2006) was such an extraordinary series and the 'Making Of'... is fascinating: the creatures and stories behind the camera are just as fascinating as those in front. It's a bit of a dream come true to be a part of the team in some small way.
• I always wanted to be an actor.
• Coming back to theatre is something I'm keen to do for the rest of my life. It recharges my batteries, so to speak.
• I don't know much about my biological background.
• I don't think many people get to play big emotions in life.
• I don't think there's ever a right time to have kids. I'm actually pretty glad it's happened quite young.
• I haven't done as many films as I would have liked.
• I was a pretty difficult teenager.
• I've never been a fan of directors who clutter a piece with all sorts of crazy preconceptions or weird ideas.
• When it is good, theatre takes a lot of beating both to watch and perform.
• But even writing the column for the 'Telegraph,' that idea of working to deadlines, which as an actor that's not something you have to do in the same way. It's excited me into wanting to do a bit more.
• I never quite toed the line.
• People look at me, they know I've appeared in costume dramas and they automatically assume I must be a Tory, I must be a certain type of person.
• I want to spend as much time as I can with my family, yet I'm aware of having to bring home the bacon.
• I was never very happy at school.
• I'm shocked at being recognized.
• I would like to do something modern and possibly funny.
• I'm sure I wouldn't have been asked to judge the Man Booker if it weren't for 'Downton.'
• I've been a lucky boy.
• What was interesting was talking to older gay men about what it was like being gay in the Eighties.
• I have only recently got interested in film, and it is a strange way of working in many ways. But actually, when it is at its best, it's quite an extraordinary way of working between a director and an actor, to really explore an inner life.
• My dad's family were pretty working class, actually.
• It's head and heart. I like to feed both. I always wanted to be an actor. But the cultural-intellectual side of things has always excited me. I wouldn't want to let it go.
• Oh, it is quite possible that none of us in 'Downton' will ever again get the ratings this has had. But from a career point of view, it has opened so many doors.
• I'm amazed by just constantly - there's not a week that goes past where there's not someone in Ulan Bator or Rio De Janeiro suddenly says, 'Ooh, 'Downton' started this week.' You completely forget it's staggered across the world.
• I'm lucky to be married to someone who entirely gets what I do. She is totally sympathetic to the actor's life. Her own mother was an actress, so she sort of grew up with it.
• [2014; about whether he ever sought out his birth parents] Not really actively. I've done as much research as I need to do to satisfy my own curiosity.
• I've been a very lucky product of the process of adoption and ended up with really wonderful parents. It's an extraordinary thing, adoption. [he was adopted at seven days old]
• [2014; on no longer eating dairy products] I'm not vegan. I'm trying to eat healthier. And I've never really liked dairy.
• [2012] At Cambridge I wore hoodies and trainers and looked like a skateboarder. This whole dandy business is quite new to me.
