More From Tom Hiddleston

Just slap anything on when you see a blank canvas staring you in the face like some imbecile. you don't know how paralyzing that is, that stare of a blank canvas is, which says to the painter, ‘you can't do a thing’. the canvas has an idiotic stare and mesmerizes some painters so much that they turn into idiots themselves. many painters are afraid in front of the blank canvas, but the blank canvas is afraid of the real, passionate painter who dares and who has broken the spell of `you can't' once and for all.

The gods have fled, i know. my sense is the gods have always been essentially absent. i do not believe human beings have played games or sports from the beginning merely to summon or to please or to appease the gods. if anthropologists and historians believe that, it is because they believe whatever they have been able to recover about what humankind told the gods humankind was doing. i believe we have played games, and watched games, to imitate the gods, to become godlike in our worship of eachother and, through those moments of transmutation, to know for an instant what the gods know.

We need to employ a secular approach to ethics, secular in the indian sense of respecting all religious traditions and even the views of non-believers in an unbiased way. secular ethics rooted in scientific findings, common experience and common sense can easily be introduced into the secular education system. if we can do that there is a real prospect of making this 21st century an era of peace and compassion.

We need more than individual value systems; we need a shared vision. a nation is held together by shared values, shared beliefs, shared attitudes. that is what enables a people to maintain a cohesive society despite the tensions of daily life. that is what enables them to rise above the conflicts that plague any society.

I dont know if there is anyone who wouldnt want to play some kind of superhero. i dont know if the world is getting sick of superhero movies or not, but i think you will endlessly have actors who are intrigued by the idea of playing a superhero.

I observed once to goethe that when a friend is with us we do not think the same of him as when he is away. he replied, "yes! because the absent friend is yourself, and he exists only in your head; whereas the friend who is present has an individuality of his own, and moves according to laws of his own, which cannot always be in accordance with those which you form for yourself.
