It would have been a very, very good thing if the next election after Margaret went we had lost.

I wasn't absolutely too sure where the Falklands was, and I didn't want to make a bloody fool of myself.

What it meant to me: a happy life, of course, companionship, of course. A common objective, I think.

I think she was ready to go. Not to be kicked out. Go at the top. Undefeated.

It would have been a very, very good thing if the next election after Margaret went we had lost.

And certainly don't get caught by the press having too much to drink, you now, that sort of thing.

I don't know what reception I'm at, but for God's sake give me a gin and tonic.

The whole of the situation of the Conservative Party today springs from that night when they dismissed the best prime minister the country had had since Churchill.

More people deserted our party and we have never recovered.

I think people think Jim Carrey's just wild and crazy. He really is very disciplined. It is true of Eddie Murphy and Robin Williams as well.

I believe the two biggest mistakes made by the Founders were giving Federal judges life-time appointments and permitting them to be confirmed without the agreement of two-thirds of the members of the United States Senate.

'The Lucky One' features a young concentration camp survivor named Peter Rashkin - who's about the age my dad was when he started at CBS - working at the Oyster Bar, trying to acclimate to his new country and outrun the memories of the daily he left behind.

When I was 8 years old, it mattered what my favorite singer said and wore and expressed opinions about.

I was a feral child. Always on the go. My mother used to sew bells into my dresses so they would know where I was.

Outside of 'Justified,' I do like to keep it to comedy. When I'm not there, I try to seek out stuff that sort of more along the lighter fare. I have more fun on those sets than I do on drama sets just because when it's heavy, it's heavy, and it's hard to get away from it.

Embrace your fire - even in hard times. A down economy can actually be a great time to start a business.

I'm not afraid... I was BORN for this.

Actors are a race.

I don't particularly like children. That sounds awful, but I have nothing to say to them.

When I was probably 5 or 6, my mother put me into an acting, singing, and dancing class.

Now, Venus is an extremely hostile environment, and as such presents a lot of challenges for a science fiction author who wants to create life there. However, as I began to research it more thoroughly, I found myself intrigued by the possibilities the world offers.

I think there's a danger, for me at least, in retreating and going inward and depression. I have to stay diligent against that tendency.

Screenwriting is still a challenge for me. It's more technical than creative. You have to be a very good journeyman plumber and put the proper parts together. Then, if you can still inject a little bit of something worthwhile, you have done as much as can be expected.

I write songs very quickly, so the 20 minutes of joy I get out of writing a song doesn't compare to the two months of joy I get engaging with the people who like my music.

People's interest in glamour and clothes and nylon stockings and all those things were, when I was a little boy, the sort of world that I listened to.

I get very antsy and nervous if I don't know what the next job is.

True holiness isnt cold and deadening its warm and inviting. Its irresistible. Those who think otherwise have never seen it but only its caricatures.

F. Lee Bailey had been an inspiration to me. It was my desire to have him behind the scenes, to rely on his great wisdom and his brainpower, but I did not feel he should be in the courtroom.

In these troubled, uncertain times, we don't need more command and control; we need better means to engage everyone's intelligence in solving challenges and crises as they arise.

The experimental poetry thing is not my thing. It's a programme of the avant-garde: basically a refusal of the kind of poetry I write.

When you think Selena Gomez, you think 'celebrity.' But really, she does so many things for me. She's very caring. Before she goes on stage, she's a goofy girl. She's fun-loving and totally lovable, which I say in the most honest way. She's not even a celebrity to me; she's just a really cool person.

I don't cast somebody that I think is like my younger self.

When I was a child, I wanted to be an actor, but I had really bad buckteeth. I didn't want to get braces, but my mom said I couldn't be an actor if I didn't get the braces. So, I got the braces.
