Ah, well, the truth is always one thing, but in a way it's the other thing, the gossip, that counts. It shows where people's hearts lie.

Marriage may often be a stormy lake but celibacy is almost always a muddy horse pond.

When I'm on stage, all is right with the world.

If you're just interested in the prestige of banking, that's not what's going to sustain you. You have to be interested in what we do: managing and originating capital, helping issuers and investors come together is great, bringing these companies to life.

The human contribution is the essential ingredient. It is only in the giving of oneself to others that we truly live.

As an undergraduate at UBC in Canada, I fell in love with economic theory. It was the right choice for me.

I guess I think like deep inside, I know that it's like, it's a different kind of performing, it's not really... You're not performing like a guitar player or a singer is performing, you know what I mean? So it's weird to be in the same type setup as one of those. 'Cause I'm not really doing much, you know, like technically it's not that hard.

My mother taught me how to love. My mom is the most loving person I know.

I read French much better than I speak.

The advantage of having only one child is that you always know who did it.

We need a human presence at the border and a humane presence at the border.

Boiled peanuts are a Southern thing.

'Cloud 9' is an action/romantic comedy that focuses on the competitive world of snowboarding. We have glamorised it to so that all the players are on the cover of magazines, have all the interviews, and be on the television: so it is very high stakes.

You can be the lead in a movie just for the sake of being a lead in a movie, or you can just be in a good movie.

The best thing about having brothers and sisters is that they're brutally honest. My brother just got the 'Narnia' game, and first thing he does is kill me in it! Six times, over and over again!

You can go to see a singer and love the show, but you don't need to know all the songs. What you want to do when you leave is go and find out more about the music.

Generally my typical books have lots of twists and turns a big surprise ending and then usually another surprise at the end and ideally, as in Garden of Beasts, we get to the very end and we find at the last few pages that there's yet another surprise.

When we look at some of the greatest creative ideas we've come up with, they have originated literally from all corners of the world and have crossed all different types of media as well. So while there's still traditional TV, which is clearly a very compelling media, it's also cyber, mobile, outdoor.

What is this love that more than all the cursed deadly or any other of its great movers so moves the soul and soul what is this soul that more than by any of its great movers is by love so moved?

I think that women out there should just be happy with how they look, and they shouldn't really try to conform to any stereotype. Just be happy and, hopefully, healthy.

My favourite sites are all about web accessiblity, like Jakob Nielsen's site, but I'm afraid I've got quite utilitarian in my uses of the web. I buy things for friends and family in America on it. I find train times on it. I get a quick short article on a subject from it. I do not surf for fun much.

I don't read my own reviews and I haven't for probably 15 years. I read other people's reviews, though.

Life will let you get away with something for a while but sooner or later you will pay the price. Everything you do in life causes the effects that you experience. When you get the bill be prepared to pay.

A small venue is so much more intimate and loose. You can actually be more spontaneous, I feel.
