I'd get to within a yard of that door you walk through and the thing would go mad. I used to carry an X-ray in my briefcase, to show them. But I had all the metal taken out.

Endless motorbike talk can and does bore me.

I race in two or three classic races a year and I may carry on for 10 more years or I may stop tomorrow.

It wasn't about the money. I just wanted them to admit it was their fault.

I decided there and then to sue the bastards.

Nobody within motorcycling has or deserves any respect.

I vowed I would do everything I could to stop the Isle of Man counting towards the world championship. And it was stopped, so they love me in the Isle of Man.

It's not as if there's a noise problem, because they use the same circuits as Formula One.

I thought: This is not racing, it's a suicide mission.

They were ridiculous times. After I won my world championship in 1976, I went to Japan.

Set the standard! Stop expecting others to show you love, acceptance, commitment, & respect when you don't even show that to yourself.

Priesthood is forever and does not cease when a priest cannot carry out that priestly ministry.

What I don't want to do is just play for the sake of playing.

Strangely enough, the first character in Fried Green Tomatoes was the cafe, and the town. I think a place can be as much a character in a novel as the people.

Hillary Clinton is not strongly identified with reforming the industrial food system. The Clintons were involved with Walmart and Tyson in Arkansas. Though as a senator, Hillary was pretty good at reaching out to the small farmers in Upstate New York.

Just because you're a man doesn't mean that you can't raise your kid. I think that families should stay together, but if you are a single father, don't give up no matter what they say.

What happens is that the system builds many inferior blood vessels in the eye to take the place of the vessels that are dying. And those blood vessels are not up to the task. And they bleed. They hemorrhage and they cover the eye inside with blood.

Life has no meaning a priori. It is up to you to give it a meaning and value is nothing but the meaning that you choose.

I had never binge-watched TV before 'Orange.'

Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's bad. I think the film could have been a lot better.

Historically, Heathrow has been something of a joke, outweighed by its excellent connections. We have to aspire to having an airport at Heathrow with two runways which is a world-class airport. It's a big challenge.

Fragrance is my favorite thing. So much so that if I leave the house and I don't put any on, I'll turn around and go back home.

I had to make a choice - recede into the academic world, or wade into politics.

I'm worth far too much money. I don't need anybody's money.

I've been on sets where things weren't relaxed because someone was creating tension for no reason.

Emotionally, making my debut has been the highlight so far. I didn't know I was starting until three minutes before. I went in and put my shirt on, and the team were already in the tunnel.

I don't believe in doing things just to do them.

But when I was a teenager, the idea of spending the rest of my life in a factory was real depressing. So the idea that I could become a musician opened up some possibilities I didn't see otherwise.

Every gathering of Americans whether a few on the porch of a crossroads store or massed thousands in a great stadium is the possessor of a potentially immeasurable influence on the future.

My grandfather had been on the New York City force with his 11 brothers around the turn of the century. He was killed in the line of duty. My father, who was 16, was the oldest son, so he had to quit school and go to work to support his mother.

Hatred, intolerance, poor hygienic conditions and violence all have roots in illiteracy, so we're trying to do something to help the poor and the needy.

I have my flaws too, but I am a professional who doesn't like to miss or lose.

You know, I have guys that are almost stalkers... it is very strange. I had this one guy that e-mailed me off my site, and thought we were boyfriend and girlfriend. He then came to my house in London, I do not know how he found it.

I like beauty to be a bit edgy, not typical. For me, the only rule is looking good.
