Nature can do more than physicians.

We are Englishmen; that is one good fact.

Keep your faith in God, but keep your powder dry.

He who stops being better stops being good.

What is all our histories, but God showing himself, shaking and trampling on everything that he has not planted.

Necessity has no law.

No one rises so high as he who knows not whither he is going.

The State, in choosing men to serve it, takes no notice of their opinions. If they be willing faithfully to serve it, that satisfies.

I would have been glad to have lived under my wood side, and to have kept a flock of sheep, rather than to have undertaken this government.

Not only strike while the iron is hot, but make it hot by striking.

I had rather have a plain, russet-coated Captain, that knows what he fights for, and loves what he knows, than that which you call a Gentle-man and is nothing else.

Put your trust in God my boys, but mind to keep your powder dry.

I'm an independent conservative. And what I mean by that - when I think we're right, I'm with us all the way, and I am a conservative. And I think my record reflects that.

I'm really good at telling people 'no.'

So, yes, I believe in angels, absolutely, I do.

Guest roles are how you get initiated into the industry. It's fun. Over the course of a few years you realise you've done many shows. You get a chance to prove yourself, and that's how you get jobs because of people who have worked with you in the past and trust you.

The key is to keep improving. I'm not there yet. I know I have to keep trying to improve and keep trying to get faster.

I think I passed up a lot of opportunities for love because I was too interested in identity politics.

Negative humor is forgotten immediately. It's the stuff that makes us feel better about our lives that lives long. Much more satisfying. Enter children's books.

Guys never looked at me. I always had crushes on older seniors who never looked at me. So, when I tell directors that I wanna play that girl who gets rejected, they're like, 'Why?'
