“I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what’s gonna happen or, who I’m gonna meet, where I’m gonna wind up.Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life’s a gift and I don’t intend on wasting it. You don’t know what hand you’re gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you, to make each day count.” Titanic (1997) dir. James Cameron
A Downton Abbey star, who joined the cast in season three, has revealed that he hasn’t been asked to return for the film version of the immensely popular show. Ed Speleers, who played the confident footman Jimmy Kent on Downton, has revealed that he hasn’t been asked to star in the film yet.
“I haven’t had the call about that…. but Downton was a big part of my life. I met the mother of my children there, and that place was sort of like a drama school for me in some respects. My career started there and it was a real melting pot with great actors like Hugh Bonneville and Maggie Smith, it was a great place for me to learn. That was a huge part of my life.”
He added that he wouldn’t mind if he wasn’t involved in the film, adding: “[Am I annoyed?] No, not really… no because my journey was complete.”
“It wasn’t only wickedness and scheming that made people unhappy, it was confusion and misunderstanding; above all, it was the failure to grasp the simple truth that other people are as real as you.” ― Ian McEwan, Atonement.
