I think cat's are fantastic.

I find it hard to imagine how someone listens to my stuff, or views what I do, or me, or anything.

I don't really feel part of any particular movement.

I think cat's are fantastic.

I want to suggest a feeling. It's ridiculous to assume you can state an opinion. Somebody else can never relate to the lyric in the same way because their whole experience is different. You can only suggest, then people add their own history and experience to the lyrics.

I find it strange the way human nature wants heroes and yet wants to destroy their heroes. It's a kind of mass insecurity people want something to look up to and get a buzz off but, at the same time, want to destroy it because it makes them feel insecure.

It's almost like, it's often the bad recording quality of things which makes them interesting.

I wanted something that had the feel of a complete band and a variety of instrument. Apart from doing the album for musical satisfaction, I felt it was an important statement for other women - showing you don't have to rely on other people to do things for you.

The test of leadership for David Cameron was actually to bring the British Conservative Party back in to the mainstream.

Since the departure of good old-fashioned entertainers the re-emergence of somebody who wants to be an entertainer has unfortunately become a synonym for camp. I don't think I'm camper than any other person who felt at home on stage, and felt more at home on stage than he did offstage.

Publicity can be terrible. But only if you don't have any.

True humor springs not more from the head than from the heart. It is not contempt; its essence is love. It issues not in laughter, but in still smiles, which lie far deeper.

A lot of movies you do because they're fun, they make people forget about their day.

Bringing my two children up while writing was just a part of life. I'd much rather have had their interruptions than been stuck in a sterile office. This way, I had welcome distractions. I had to load the washing machine, I had to go out and buy lemons.

I really am glad that the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children has had the courage to stand up and say that children should not be hit under any circumstances. I am a committed supporter of this campaigning charity for children.

I studied cooking all through high school.

Frankly, seeing my plays with an audience is something I do with gritted teeth; I find the experience very difficult. I love the moment when you have just the dress rehearsal, when no one's there; that's kind of the peak to me. When people start filing in, I like to file out.

I come from a family of professional dog-showers, one step above carnies, but I didn't want to join the family business.

The best way to save the world is to see every plant and every animal you see as the last plant and the last animal in the world!

I don't feel the need to direct. I tried to get other people to direct Dances, but they wouldn't do it. They all thought it was too long. One director wanted to cut the Civil War sequence. Another thought the white woman was very cliched.

I've been a minister and I know how cautious you have to be.

Happy relationships are boring. We all want them in our own life. But I don't want to watch them on TV.

You don't want to hear about how much money I donate to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America or to AIDS awareness or to give out scholarships. You don't want to hear about that.

If you work at home, you're always on call in a way.

My message is not just to disabled people, but to everyone: You have to work hard.

Tyranny is always better organized than freedom.

I think the key is basically just your determination. As far an artist is concerned, it's just about your drive and your dream.
