I am not a sex symbol.
There is a very recognizable racist and supremacist, acting out of fear and thinking that the past was a better time. And scared of Muggles and scared of the future because it feels like his place was some time ago, when he was part of the super-elite who could look down on the rest of the world. You don’t need to look too far to find many politicians standing on those platforms. Those issues are never more relevant than today, but they are dealt with in this kind of magical world.
I don't know if it's a romantic comedy but I'm in the beginning of the first of the season of 'The West Wing.' We shot it last year. I don't know. If anyone asks me to be in one, I'll jump on it.
No, no it was the opposite—the very, very opposite. That's the stuff that made me not want to do it. If someone said to me, ‘We're remaking The Godfather,' I'd sprint a million miles in the other direction across broken glass. Remaking something, I think is pointless, something that's been done so well before. So, the new story, for our times, reflective of stuff going on in the streets and the newspapers, that's told in a very—I thought—a very dynamic and interesting way with lots of twists and turns, I was able to forget entirely, when I read the story, that there had ever been a Star Trek before.
I'm still spending my working life trying to mine people's souls and now they're complimenting me in reviews on the amount of time I spend in the gym. On the definition of my triceps.
He's fighting on behalf of an organization for whom that's not true yet. They haven't taken on board that they're going to lose and everyone will die. He does understand that. He's seen death on a large scale before. He takes her, he redirects her from the fate she was facing because he needs someone by his side who's going to do what's necessary, when it's necessary and hopefully have loyalty to him because he's the one that gave her a second chance. Although that's questionable because Burnham is so guilt-stricken by what she's done. Does he have a secret agenda? Yeah, to win the war. Unlike other captain's before…he's keeps a certain authoritative distance between him and the crew because he thinks that's how they respond to best to the chain of command. He carries his own burden of things he's done, things he hopes to do, doubts—his own insecurities and doubts.
I think I was probably always a liar; I just get paid for it now.
Well, you know, he's brought this woman on board to be a crewmember because he's got to try and win a war slightly hamstrung. He's on a science vessel with a of peacetime explorer crew, not people who are trying to fight. The rules of engagement such as they are—remember these are not the ones from the original series, this is 10 years before—the Federation directives are different, and they're peacetime directives, but he's fighting an ruthless and immoral—not amoral—enemy who will do anything they need to do and take any measure necessary.
When I came back from filming 'Abduction', I told my agent: I'm staying in London now. If it takes doing children's theater from the back of a van in Kilburn, that's OK. I need to be with my family. My job is to keep the family together and provide for them.
Oh my god, if they were going to learn something? I hope they'd read a couple of op/ed columns or maybe a bumper sticker and some fridge magnets. I hope they'll be entertained…The best way you can influence people and help them make good choices in their life…it's just by telling a great story and subliminally, whatever the message or affect you're going to have on people works under the surface. It's a cracking plot start to finish and it should have you kind of leaning forward off the chair and not wanting to miss it.
And then the same thing Gene Rodenberry set out to do in the ‘60s when there was such terrible strife and unrest in the streets, we're presenting, not at the center of our show as part of the message, but just as part of the almost by osmosis you take on the notion that there may be a time where we can work together across gender, race and even species in our show and certainly sexuality and all these other things—and work together in our collective best interests. Obviously this is coming at a time where there are people trying to make us work against each other and separate us from each other.
It's just really, really beautiful. Each scene is one long 15 minute take without cutting. My scene is with Robin Wright-Penn so I'm pretty excited about that.
He's barefoot. I'm not even beginning to play in that arena. You start to think like that, you might as well not go to work. I've got a war to win, I've got a crew to try and save and I've got a Federation to manipulate. It's hard to give even a nanosecond's thought to the genius that was, for instance, that I grew up in awe of, I wouldn't have gone to work. I wouldn't take the job if they didn't have an original story, a kind of single rich, layered, textured 15-hour story for me to jump in and be part of, I don't think I would've done it either because I absolutely worshiped the original series…it was a huge part of my childhood television viewing.
The idea of doing some kind of pale reboot of it, or kind of an echo of it, it would be an anathema to me. So, it's up to other people to decide in the future where I will live or not live in the pantheon of those greats. I'm just happy to strap a phaser on.
I went to university and I was a bit out of my depth, socially.
Well, actually, there's a bunch of tension between us. I'm trying to earn her trust and she is filled with both guilt and fear and suspicion. What Sonequa and I had to do was work very hard not to show what we're like off screen because we're having a fantastic time off screen. We have a very good mutual friend who's in The Walking Dead, plus Sonequa organizes these game nights when the entire cast bond. I host them at the house. We adore each other's company and make each other laugh, whereas Burnham is very poker-faced and doesn't respond to any of Lorca's jokes and we have to be suspicious of each other. So acting sometimes is about trying to not like each other on screen.
Acting is usually regarded as a wholly narcissistic pursuit but there really is a hunger in me to unravel the human condition.
I didn't sit in the chair. That was my first experience–I'm not going to sit in the chair. I've seen too many scenes with people sitting in the chair and we're at war and there are missiles being fired. I went right down to the front by the screen and I looked up at it, and I engaged with it like the missiles were instruments in my orchestra. I stood and I conducted the war. That became a template for me for a number of episodes because I felt like he's a very active guy. This guy doesn't like to stand still, he likes to be doing stuff, he'd like to be fighting hand-to-hand.
He's frustrated by the ship, which is a science vessel, it has some weapons, it has some shields, but it's not built for war. If I could will it forward, like The Flintstones, if I could give it an extra mile an hour by pushing it, I would do it. So I just stayed out of the chair for as long as I could and I finally had to sit in the chair because of a scene where it wasn't really active, nothing much was happening, so they tend to sit down. I felt like I'd earned it.
In the moment of acting you don't feel like anything, you feel like the person, as much as you can.
No, I mean, I like to use sports analogies and tennis is the sport I play: When I watch players walk onto center court in Wimbledon and there's no reason at all that they can't beat the other person and hold their own, and they collapse completely because the occasion is too much for them, and caring that weight and expectation on their shoulders. I've been along long enough to cast it all of and whilst I have the deepest respect for all the fans and I love the ones I've met so far and the amazing actors who have gone before, I deliberately concentrated on not giving a f—k and I came on and played.
I know there's a whole bunch of people back in Hollywood who are obsessed with canon and with detail about what you can and can't do, and wear and point and press, but I shrugged all that off and arrived as if this was the very first scene in the very first Star Trek ever filmed. That's the only way you can play anything.
Every time I make a plan, God laughs at me.
Peter Pan didn’t do very well at the box office at all, but people who have got little kids phone me all the time and go: ‘I’m so fucking sick of seeing your face. My daughter’s been playing it all weekend.’ It’s a beautiful film.
I imagine like most of us that I'd like obscene amounts of money but the people I met and worked with who have those obscene amounts of money and have obscene amounts of fame have awful lives. Really. I mean hideously compromised lives.
I was pretty sure that Armando had got the wrong address, that he was sending the script off to Jason Bateman or Jason Statham. Presumably, someone more expensive wasn’t available.
Acting is a really simple job - it's just hard to do. You just have to be that person with their background in that situation. That's all it is. My kids do it all the time when they're dressing up and playing games.
In real life, Zhukov was the only person who was able to speak bluntly to Stalin. So, I thought, well, who are the bluntest people I’ve ever met in my life? They’re all from Yorkshire. The accent is shorthand for: no fucking around, I’m going to tell you what’s what. I had a picture of Brian Glover in my head. Magnificent actor.
It seems a bit weird to call someone your girlfriend when you have a child.
I just think I’m rubbish. I can’t believe people don’t go, ‘I’m so sorry, we’ve made a terrible mistake for the last 30 years. Please go and open a cake shop.’
I could release myself into acting in a way that I was not released socially.
Everybody took the piss out of me when I got to London. I couldn’t understand why, but I went full Ray Winstone. Then I went to university and they all sounded like Hugh Grant and, within a day, I sounded like them, or as best I could. I still have that social disease and I’m not aware I’m doing it.
But, luckily, I’ve been able to sell it.
I get some of the nicest fan mail you could imagine. Also when I'm up for an award, my fans all vote online and then they'll boast to each other about how many thousands of times they've clicked my name. Their thumbs must be bleeding!
I was an original series fan, what they call ‘TOS’ in the biz. Kirk represented everything that a man was or ought to be. He was brilliant, fearless, mischievous, flirty. He was swaggering. But then Spock was the other side of me, too, which was cooler, cautious and sarcastic.
Well, he's not going to get any nicer. He's a genocidal racist maniac. He's one of these people who thinks the world was a great place when Voldemort ruled the world. He's particularly offended by mixed-blood Mudbloods, the product of wizards and humans. So I hope he goes into therapy.
It’s often absurd, but then I’m not quite sure what else I could do.
I damaged my Achilles tendon, so I can't run.
He didn’t say things that were very far from it! He was watching Boris – having stabbed him in the back – being stabbed in the front by Gove, and then everyone else stabbing Gove until Theresa May was the last woman standing. The blood was fresh.
I imagine like most of us that I'd like obscene amounts of money but the people I met and worked with who have those obscene amounts of money and have obscene amounts of fame have awful lives. Really. I mean hideously compromised lives. And I can go anywhere. No one knows who I am.
I kind of love their passion. I love when they hate the show, or they say they hate the show and it’s always for some minute technical detail. It’s exciting to be at the centre of those kinds of scholarly rows.
God, I hate interviews with actors pouncing on. Who wants to know about their lives? I don't want to know about Al Pacino's life.
That’s Armando’s gift for political satire. You could have released this film at any time in the last 100 years, and probably release it in the next few hundred years, provided Trump doesn’t annihilate us all, and it would seem perfectly apposite.
I'm at the beginning of it. I'm Elektra's last job before the story kicks off.
I am the recipient of an awful lot of trolling from rightwing hate groups hiding behind some bizarre pretence of being fans. They say they’re not going to watch it because I make anti-Trump pronouncements. Then I click on their timelines and it’s nothing but white supremacist stuff.
I think this show I'm going to do,' Awake,' if it's done well, will not only be provocative and entertaining, but help people. I want to do that.
I think women need to be behind the camera, holding the pen and the purse-strings, too. What I wouldn’t recommend, for my daughters or any young men, is to be waiting for the phone to ring, to be picked because of what you look like, or the feeling that people get when you walk in the room. Control the story yourself.
There is nothing nicer than playing someone who is cooler, tougher, more virtuous and sexier than yourself and thinking, 'I can be anyone.'
I was talking to David Cameron and when I told him what I was doing, he could barely contain his surprise and horror and joy at how the film’s story paralleled exactly what was going on in Downing Street. There’s no message to the film, but you get from it that politicians seeking power should almost by definition be precluded from obtaining power. They’re all so venal and self-serving and immature and ruthless.
When I started acting, I thought everything should be issue-based and that there should be a helpline at the end of every program.
Look, I play all these tough guys and thugs and strong, complex characters. In real life, I am a cringing, neurotic Jewish mess. Can't I for once play that on stage?
I went off and read the books after the audition and I read all four books in one sitting - you know - didn't wash, didn't eat, drove around with them on the steering wheel like a lunatic. I suddenly understood why my friends, who I'd thought where slightly backward, had been so addicted to these children's books. They're like crack.
I would love to tell you I've found the secret to eternal youth. I go to the gym and avoid too many chips. I love to eat, hate to work out, but if you can't count all your ribs from a distance you're considered obese.
This wasn't just a sitcom. It was like watching a five-act Ibsen play. Corbett was making us laugh, but we were laughing at his pain and the hopelessness of his situation. Then there were the story lines ... politics, class, religion, sex. This wasn't what an early-1960s comedy was supposed to deal with. Everybody knows his Steptoe voice, but that was nothing like his real voice. He was actually raised in Wythenshawe. He had that peculiar northern thing of trying to make his accent posher than it was. A bit like Harold, really. So much of his real life mirrored Steptoe and I think Galton and Simpson picked up on that. Unfortunately, typecasting was far more prevalent in those days. Harry H. Corbett was, without doubt, the finest actor in the country, but the more successful he was as Steptoe, the less work he was offered. He wanted to walk away, but he couldn't. He was very comfortably trapped. I've got mates who are in exactly the same situation. Starring in hugely successful shows, earning loads of money - but they can't stand their jobs. The country loved Harold Steptoe, but Corbett hated him. Really hated him.
I can't tell you too much about it because I'm not even meant to tell you that I'm in it. In fact, I might never work again now that I've been talking to you. I'm not in it for very long, let's put it that way.
I don’t mean to sound irreverent when I say I don’t care about the die-hard Trek fans. I only ‘don’t care’ about them in the sense that I know they’re all going to watch anyway. I look forward to having the fun of them being outraged, so they can sit up all night and talk about it with each other.
I got into shape because I took kick-boxing lessons every day to prepare for a fight scene with Taylor Lautner. I really wanted to lie down and eat Chinese food, but I kick-boxed every morning and ran. If someone was filming you with your kit off, you'd do the same thing.
It was a combination of a teacher from drama school who would constantly whisper in this very high voice, ‘You’ll amount to nothing, Isaacs. You will never work,’ and this British art critic, Brian Sewell. The director Chris Columbus, would come up to me and say, ‘So we had that take, it’s great, but could we do one more where you pull back on the voice like 80-90 percent?
Both a dementor and dementing. It would be cruelly hilarious if it was your uncle talking about a present they gave him in the care home, less so when the future of mankind depends on his ability to make decisions not based on his cock, his ratings or his bile.
#TrumpInWonderland
Actually Weinstein produced 326 movies, many of them iconic, but even had he cured cancer it wouldn't make sexual assault ok. My point was that his livelihood, reputation and freedom (possibly) are the price, whereas the pussy-grabber-in-chief wreaks his casual carnage untouched.
Charging my gadgets up for the flight home I relapsed and glimpsed. My feed seems to be all Trump and Weinstein. One's accused of multiple sexual assaults and is known to be a lying crook who cheated, stole and bullied his way through life. The other made 'Shakespeare in Love'.
That's how a real President writes on a day to remember the fallen. That's how anyone other than an narcissistic, racist, sexist sociopath would write. I was avoiding social media while on holiday with my family, but his toxic narcissism reached across the ocean and shook me.
RT Obama
You 'hereby demand' it on Twitter, do you, you pretentious, pig-ignorant parody of a prick? Then you'll make it official tomorrow? How exactly...parchment and quill? Skywriting? If you were investigated it's because there were and are grounds for it, but you know that don't you?
RT Trump
Because I twat about in make-up for a job, met these extraordinary folk today from the European Space Agency; they fly rockets, monitor probes, and collaborate with 22 countries to head off catastrophe and plan our best future. So it's doable then. Toldya.
There are very few problems in the world that couldn't be solved if we all just married Prince Harry.
Obama was desperate for reform of the gun laws, genuinely distraught by the loss of life and consistent in his dealings with the NRA. Know your history before you tweeze your dick around in the wind. And the slaughter of innocents isn't a game. Not to me.
God bless all? That's your best shot at a solution? You impotent, morally bankrupt, compassionless conman. You'll move on to praising the emergency services with a back-slapping exclamation mark before the bodies are cold.

Sometimes sharing one of #Trump's repulsive actions or statements feels like standing in a tsunami of sewage and pointlessly plucking out a single turd. But then I see genius like this and am reminded that every small gesture might bear fruit.
To the 40 kids going to my house for a party tonight: Lucius Malfoy's place, eh? What fun. Sorry I won't be there to meet you. I know where you all live too, btw. Touch any of my stuff and I'll kill you where you sleep.
Articulate and cogent argument from #Obama . Worth reading to be painfully reminded what a humble leader should sound like, why withdrawal from the Iran deal is catastrophic and to stock up on enough water, batteries and Sudoko to last though the fallout.
So there it is. #Trump just pulled out. If only his father had.
What kind of voters would trust #CaptainLorca? The kind that want to Make the Empire Great Again I guess. Would that they were only 3% in the world of porn-stars, putin-pleasuring and pee-pee-pals.
How curious that you follow me (and other left-of-centre celebs) and your feed is chock full of you doing precisely that: knocking Britain in every way. I don't dismiss your opinions because you're not a citizen, but because they're bigoted, ignorant and excremental

It's a Yorkshire accent, because the character's blunt, uncouth and offensive and Yorkshiremen are, er, famously...articulate. And no-one has Russian accents coz we're speaking our 1st language. Da?
Let's not forget that lifelong racist @realDonaldTrump also called for the execution of the Central Park 5 AFTER they were proved innocent by DNA evidence. His father and the rest of his KKK cohorts would be so proud.
Glorious, hilarious metaphor for The Trump presidency, the Brexit campaign and my attempts to be a cool dad.
"Breeding"? Like animals? Like jews were breeding in the Warsaw ghetto? Like slaves? Like Irish Catholics were accused of, Mexicans, any group in history who've been victimised and dehumanised and villified? Your rhetoric (look it up) shames us all, as does your presidency #Trump
Fiery, passionate and chilling. Thank you to @JohnMannMP and those members of all parties who are prepared to fight #Antisemitism head on. Never thought I'd see the day, but then who thought we'd see the day that the #POTUS supported white supremacists and Russian gangsters?
So fantastically childish it's made my day. Dear dear darling @JeffBezos please send him twice as many tomorrow and I'll sign up for prime in every country I go to.

Sunday's MustSeeTV: Trumplethinskin laid bare (eugh) as the lying, immoral, ignorant, sexist, self-obsessed bully we know him to be and the great @RealLennieJames relaunches #FearTheWalkingDead like an Apollo mission. Still miss #StarTrek's optimism though
Bit of a digital antidote to the negativity. Is it heartwarming or actually inspiring? Up to you. I'm asking myself what can I do this Sunday morning to be of service. Maybe it's money, maybe it's time, maybe it's expertise. What have you got?
Struggling to join the dots: a cornered trump, scared of a politically suicidal attempt to fire his prosecutors, discovers concern for Syrian victims (though won't let them immigrate) and threatens Russia with his latest wartoys. Nope. Don't see it. He's just a big hearted hero.
You lucky lucky man. Take good care of my beautiful DSC family, they're some of the nicest, most talented and woke folk this side of Alpha Centauri (though cook for them and they'll lie on their backs like dogs). Enjoy.

Holy misrepresentative quotes!!! That's the last thing I'd ever want. Serves me right for going all Eat, Pray,Love on her: I was talking about always trying to be being grateful for my life instead of thinking there was more to be had. Back to dick jokes.
Such bad timing. Trump's stress-tweeting as his haemorrhoids explode from the certain knowledge that he's going to be exposed for having his tiny little hands in the till and his puckered rose of a mouth buffing Putin's sack...just as the superb #DeathofStalin comes out. #WorthIt

Tell her there's nothing to be done. Tell her you hear her but it's just so complicated. Tell her her friends were slaughtered in front of her because in the 18th century they didn't want a standing army and that's why kids can fire assault rifles in schools. I dare you. #TellHer
Actually I trained as a lawyer and can recognise a heavily-lobbied political agenda disguised as quasi-legal interpretation as well as I can discern a patronising, reactionary troll from someone with an original idea. You're obviously quite happy with kids being slaughtered. #Sad

#DiscoParty Honestly, do you care about blowing up Qu'nos? Federation shmederation, it'd save a lot of lives in the long run. Or is that the #MirrorLorca leaking out of me?
#EndsAndMeans
#StarTrekDiscovery #DiscoParty. So much for missing Lorca - I’m mesmerized. This is like 5 movies in one: a sci-fi thriller, a romance, a comedy, an action adventure and some very uncomfortable alien porn. Now we just need a big musical number. Oops...gave away the end.
#DiscoParty This is thoroughly inappropriate for a man of my age and delicate nature. #PutSomethingOnThatsNotAnAccessory
#DiscoParty #StarTrekDiscovery @SonequaMG is the queen of making the plot emotional and not a long list of seemingly disconnected gobbledygook. All bow. Honestly, who can tell me now what the plan is?
Live tweeting’s all very well, but this is a bit too tasty to look away from. I don’t want to miss any of #MichelleYeoh kicking ass with her tongue. So to speak. #DiscoParty #StatTrekDiscovery
My wife often says the same thing.
Me and the lovelies in Lycra will live tweet the West coast 5:30 feed of the #StarTrekDiscovery finale. It’ll be extremely spoilertastic, so, if you’re not watching or live in a shithole country (anywhere not The USA or Norway), stay off your dumbphones until you’ve seen it #LLAP
Exactly how I am in life.
When life is edited, lit well and has a jaunty wine bar score to it. Oh, and is slathered in make-up like a pantomime dame.

#FBF The great #MichelleYeoh and a drunk man with newly transplanted limbs walk the first half of their epic fight. At half-speed, I swear.
#StarTrekDiscovery #JustAddLeather
Absolutely. Somebody win something, for fuck's sakes - that's just an embarrassing amount of nominations. Or don't bother coming home.
#DeathofStalin
@Death_of_Stalin
p.s. I'm in LA shooting a naked scene. If I win don't FaceTime.
Actually they're marching because we utterly believe in our health system that gives free care to all regardless of ability to pay - like most developed countries - and want it to work even better, you moronic, gold-toiletted, ratings-obsessed, pussy-grabbing, race-baiting child.
Mostly, I use twitter to check the important breaking news of the day. Mostly.
Hurrah. A break in the clouds. Stuck in LA listening to the radio and obsessing over redacted and leaked memos. Keep picturing Trump ploughing through piles of post-its.
#TBT The Spice Girls movie. I was cut for staring at @EmmaBunton's ample décolletage throughout the scene...EVEN THOUGH THE DIRECTOR TOLD ME TO! They were heaven. The girls, that is.
#DodgedACareerBullet
Out March 9th in America. See it before Trump bans it for his thin-skinned, sanctions-busting, election-skewing, nuclear-tea serving comrades. Apparently my perforrmance is treasonous and an insult to the memory of a great leader. Much like his.
#DeathOfStalin
#FunnyAsAllFuck
Irrationally, it’s not the fact that most of the GOP are attacking and undermining their own Justice dept and intelligence agencies to protect their cult leader from exposure, it’s the lack of any attempt to hide or disguise it that feels terrifying. Democracy seems undoable now.
That’s spectacularly honest for him. At this rate he might eventually tell the truth if he made a speech a day for the next 200 years. Although probably not. #BelieveMe
They're going to be even better without me. Now they can be Starfleet and I can just be a fan. The Discovery's in great hands -even if they’re Kelpian, huge and slightly rubbery.
#GoingBoldlyLeatherFree @actordougjones @SonequaMG
Make sure to watch tonight as the Liar-In-Chief's nose grows to elephantineine proprtions. Or should.
Sure. Let me post all the scripts online. Give me a minute to kill Santa first...
#TheOA2
First day on #TheOA Season 2 and I'm reminded of the power and transcendental beauty of storytelling.
Check out the kkk website, various white supremacist publications and anything from a V Putin.
#WhatWillHeTradeHisCigarettesFor
Yes yes. Me me. I've kicked the bucket, I've shuffled off my mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible. I. Am. An. Ex. Captain.
Captain's costume for sale. Size XS. Fits bloody nobody.
Just watched #13 of #StarTrekDiscovery and Holy McShitburgers, if it doesn't marry character, politics, treklore and kick-ass action in the most entertaining way then I'll give you all your money back. Just write to YouLyingSackOfShit@WhyDidIEverBelieveYou.com and ask for Donald.
On this #HolocaustMemorialDay, let's never forget our responsibilities today. What are we doing to provide safety to those fleeing violence and terror?
Could almost be a scene from the film, but without @Aiannucci to mine the humour, it’s just a thuggishly fearful response to the intoxicating oxygen of laughter. Allegedly. #DeathOfStalin #SeeItButTakeFakeID
Scandinavian ingenuity at its best, though I’m surprised there are any Norwegians left. Didn’t everyone jump on Trump’s invitation? #DeathOfStalin #LoveYouVladmir
You’re the editor of The Moscow Times, you follow me and you’ve called me a “jerk” in quotes. Just wondering if you’re quoting whoever tells you what to say or are you using it ironically, in fact meaning “Champion of free speech” and “Man in hysterical movie”? #DeathOfStalin
For all those asking if mirror Lorca makes it, if he or prime Lorca will be in season 2 or if this is the end of the mirror universe in #StarTrekDiscovery, why would you trust me? I’ve been lying to you from the beginning!
#BelieveMe #LiarInChief
Damn. Looks like our attempt to overthrow the politburo by judicious use of obscenities, slapstick and fart-gags been rumbled. I’ll have to send the cheque back to Hillary. #DeathOfStalin #SeeItBeforeTheCastDrinkGlowingSmoothies
Trust me, the space effluent is about to hit the rotational ventilator in the mirror universe. #StarTrekDiscovery
Day 1 @sundancefest #3. Captains Morgan and Lorca discuss a crossover: Zombies invade the USS Discovery and all the crew have to defend themselves are broomhandles. #TheWalkingTalkingTrek
Don’t know about Anthony (@albinokid), but I know I speak for @JonathanSFrakes and myself when I tell you we’re thinking “What’s for lunch?” and “How does my arse look at this angle. “
#StarTrekDiscovery #ActingSecrets
#FBF. Flashing back to Wednesday night in Hollywood: Lorca and Tyler celebrate their sitcom spinoff
#StarTrekDiscovery
#GentlemenPreferKlingons
Ah yes, luring poor unsuspecting #Trump into the old 'perjury trap'. Otherwise known as letting him open his lying mouth.
Who knew a tweet could make you puke, piss yourself and spray snot all at the same time?
#BrainlessBarbie
If you didn't watch @Oprah elevating the art of communication and inspiration at the @GoldenGlobes, get your children - get your daughters - and do yourselves a favour. Show them how leaders SHOULD speak.
Hoping for a Kanye moment at the #GoldenGlobes. Why thank lists of people nobody knows? Send them Yoga-Pants Scented candles and tell stories about who wouldn't screw you in school.
Meanwhile, #StarTrekDiscovery killed tonight. @jonathansfrakes could almost do this professionally
Damn Ravi, you mean when #StarTrekDiscovery returns tonight after its Christmas break only about 100 million people will continue to be glued to our soulless, bland acting hiding behind action packed CGI and we’re going to lose your 7 followers? All of them? That’s cold shit man.
Thrilled to fly to LA as the walls are closing in on the Dementor-in-Chief. Anyone who thinks eating McDonalds is a way to avoid poisoning doesn't fully grasp the security protocols involved in paper-wrapped food or indeed the concept of anal leakage #ItsNotFakeTanItsBigMacSauce
Jaw-dropping, sick-making, underwear-filling account of Trump's inadequacy and instability from inside the White House. Read it and see whose tiny fingers are on the very big button.
#HesReadyForHisCloseupMrMueller
Sorry to the family I saw earlier in the barber's and didn't want to take a selfie with:
1) I'd just seen Trump's tweet and was distracted.
2) I had really shit hair.
Stunningly managing to be both the biggest and smallest dick in the world.
We could all be ash soon because the dementing possessor of the world's most publicly ludicrous hairstyle is playground bullying the possessor of the world's second most ludicrous.
#BeamUsAllUpScotty
Happiest of New Years to anyone wasting their life on social media and taking the time to read the inane blandishments of attention-seeking solipsists. May 2018 find you with no signal often enough that you rediscover the erotic thrill of eye contact.
#ChineseYearOfTheMueller
Boxing Day in the UK. Back in the day Christmas Boxes, with gifts, tips and food were given to employees and the needy. Now we go to blow-out sales and realise how badly we overpaid for tat. Do something great: donate your unwanted gifts to charity. Then eat leftovers and moan. x
Yikes. Insensitive Cosby joke. Twat. But my pescatarian Christmas Dinner’s about to be served and I’ll be excommunicated if I don’t put the phone down and pretend not to be missing the turkey. Sorry.
Digital detox for 2 weeks. Slept like a Cosby victim. Missed nice work stuff: @britmarling said #TheOA starts in Jan, critics gave end-of-year love to #StarTrekDiscovery and #DeathofStalin won prizes and got into #sundance2018. Mostly missed you all, though. Yes, even you. Idiot.
Heart-breaking and inspiring to meet you and all the other families who have channelled tragedy into tireless fundraising for @GreatOrmondSt. There's nowhere like it - world class, groundbreaking treatment for sick kids, free and delivered with love. Give if you can this xmas.
Always good to have something to fall back on - particularly if you’re making indie films. Follow @BIFA_film and support the movies that have no lycra, no happy meals and no comics. #ExceptDeathOfStalinButThatWasAGraphicNovel
Look what you've done now. I snorted my tea all over my jeans AND pissed myself.
#ABotMadeMeLaugh #BuyYourselfASpellcheckDckhead
Didn't pander to the ultra-right and foist an unnecessary referendum on us, then allow demonstrably untrue propaganda to dominate the nationally suicidal debate though, did they? And handle the subsequent negotiations like a bunch of chimpanzees on acid? #LesserOfTwoEvils
Not wrong but understated I fear. At least there's no flamboyantly-coiffed seeming buffoon with an ultra-right following hovering in the wings with entirely malleable political opinions and a hunger for power. Phew, eh?
And the fact that he was banned from a shopping mall for trying to pick up young teenage girls? That numbers of them have braved being smeared as liars by your foot-and-mouthpiece to testify to the depth of his persistence and perversion? #GreatMinds #FillingTheSwampToOverflow
Trump supporters who work and pay taxes: you just got utterly, presidentially, non-consensually fucked. If you’re already extremely rich (or due to inherit), when your post-orgasmic shudder subsides, know that your fortress walls will never be thick enough
Very much not me tweeting this. Weird. What the extremely fuck? Is it Putin’s bots, Trump in his gold leaf and marble pajamas or someone in y-fronts so dirty they stand up by themselves? Why hack my account with Guardian crosswords?! I do the cryptic btw #SlightlyFreaked #Alot
Because you felt it appropriate and funny that Trump made a Pocahontas joke with the code-talking heroes who swung the balance of WW2. And did it under the shadow of the portrait of Andrew "Indian Killer" Jackson that he'd personally requested hang there. Shame on both of you.
He’s not aping, echoing or pandering to fascistic tendencies. He is, was and always has been a hate-filled danger.
Undoubtedly. Here’s what people miss with @WilliamShatner: the unbroken continuity and cross-pollination between the sublime, disruptive, iconic performances - as Kirk & Denny amongst others - and the provocative, take-no-prisoners tweeter. I’m all in. #ItsArtJimButNotAsWeKnowIt
Still not following, of course, but it’s good to know I could in an emergency.
To be unblocked by @WilliamShatner I had to marry off a ginger royal, fire an intercontinental missile at Japan and get Trump not to insult heroic Native American code-talkers in front of an offensive painting of their worst enemy (that he put there).
#TwoOutOfThreesNotBad
It's #GivingTuesday - an entirely apolitical, unquestionably wonderful tradition I'd urge you to uphold. If you can spare cash, pick a worthy cause and donate (you might consider @lumos). If you can't, think of someone who needs help and help them #TheRealThanksgiving
This is the universally respected ex-head of the NSA and CIA (and a world renowned cyber-security expert) responding to Trump's puerile lies and efforts to undermine the press. I have an overwhelming and unhealthy desire to hear duelling banjos and a breathy squeal #HowLowCanHeGo
Scanned your timeline and saw how often you retweeted the White Genocide hashtag, so you're clearly the kind of politically impartial intellectual colossus I need to take career advice from. Our fanbase can cope without you - don't let the burning cross hit you on the way out.
I've been blocked by @WilliamShatner. The unkindest cut of all. In what way have I broken the prime directive Captain? Was it the end of sentence minor-key uptick? The quizzical eyebrow (and blue eyeliner)? The just too-tight uniform? Forgive me my sins - it's an homage, I swear.
The #MuellerInvestigation just called and said you were PROBABLY going to be named Soap Monitor on your wing and would have to agree to an interview and a perp picture with your combover shaved off. I said that's waaaay fucking good enough for me. #TimeToStartPacking
Finally. A perfectly articulate, revealing, honest insight into the challenges facing the most powerful man in the world. And the single strongest argument for euthanasia I’ve ever read. #ThereAreNoWordsJustFluids
To my American friends, the best #Thanksgiving I can offer in these dark days is at least you’re not a turkey. To the Drumpfstick-in-Chief: enjoy the stuffing...this time next year that’ll be you. #ReadyForHisCloseUpMrMueller
On this thanksgiving day, I’m grateful that acclaim means so little to me that #DeathOfStalin absolutely crushing it in the @BIFA_film craft awards only makes me more humble. In the words of the great philosopher Charles Von Sheen...WINNING!!!!
So sorry Will. I just didn't want to have to write White Supremacist, Sex-Abuser, Anti-Semite, Liar, Sadist, Mysogynist, Thief, Science-Denier, Narcissist, Egomaniac, Draft-dodger and Ignorant Turd-Gargler and not have room to describe what a traitor he is to the office. My bad.
Make sure you avoid #Chaplin's #TheGreatDictator, selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry and @MelBrooks' #TheProducers, of course. Both rubbish as well. #SatireShmatire.
Can any non-bot, double figure IQ, non-nazi Trump voters explain rationally to me (without pointless comparisons to Clinton/Obama) how you can still support a man who endorses child molesters, race-hatred and Russian interference in democracy? Isn’t it all non-partisan? #AllEars
They forgot reading Twitter in bed. Still, let’s try them, regroup tomorrow and see who’s president.
#DoWorryBeSad
Has there ever been a more infantile, witless, impotent, self-obsessed, intellectually-bankrupt pus-filled cockstump to perch, temporarily, on a seat of power? His only achievement is making his wife retch with the rest of us at the prospect of every new day. #AllIWantForXmasIs46
I like a debate, Edd, so how tragic you’re so pathetically wrong on every front. Even your spelling. Politicians invented sexual abuse and the swollen gland in the Whitehouse is a ratings-obsessed reality-tv star who boasts of being a sexual predator. Keep retweeting James Woods.
So that was #StarTrekDiscovery till Jan 7th 2018. Try and enjoy Christmas and New Year because the effluent really hits the aficionado when we’re back. Sweaty stuff. #LiveLongAndPerspire
To the justifiably trigger-happy on the look-out for gender-related bias, I called Trump a Mean Girl, as opposed to a mean girl. As in the Citizen Kane of High school movies. He’s also a *¥€]!
Will historians of the future understand, I wonder, that the escalating thermo-nuclear conflict that led to them scrabbling for survival on the smouldering remains of our planet came about because the American president was a mean girl? In a corset?
When I was a kid and burped deliberately at dinner, my mum made me stand on a chair and burp 100 times. These public masturbators should be given a reality show where they have to wank at each other 24/7 till their dicks drop off (or Harvey wins an Emmy). #TinyHandsMakeLightWork
#FBF Lucius’s attempts to stay incognito post Battle of Hogwarts were failing miserably. The pits were the giveaway. #LessMakeUpThanTrump
Concert-goers, toddlers at school, the faithful praying. Don’t insult them with thoughts and fucking prayers: DO something
#GunControlNow
Oh but they clearly do...YOU care. Enough to troll me in-between retweeting alt-right propaganda lies and Trump’s moronic bluster. Teehee.
If speaking out against racists, misogynists, bullies, homophobes, liars and warmongers ‘fogs’ my work...wipe the scum off your glasses.
Told my daughters that lying, cruelty, racism, greed, ignorance, violence and sexual assault can triumph. That their future means nothing.
Just wondering if you have some kind of mesh put in the seat of your pants so that people can hear you clearly?
Opine less. Read more. Shhh.
Actually, .@shazad bought ME one for my birthday. Then beat me like a junkyard dog in front of my family. Ash Whole.
The fierce, honest, brave @albinokid. My on-screen irritation and off-screen inspiration.
