It is difficult to go on the next night after you receive a sandbagging.

There's something about shadows because you make your own mind up about what's lurking in them.

I absolutely adore working in the realms of fantasy.

The first movie I appeared in was Carry On Cowboy, though not as an actor. I was just riding horses.

Life's too short to be working with divas.

With the film around for 25 years and the show being around even longer - still running and continuing to fill house all around the word - it's really an exciting and wonderful thing to be part of that.

I paid my dues at drama school and worked backstage in every Theatre in London.

I've been cushioned against having to work, with Rocky's continual bounty.

I've never wanted to play bank managers and real people particularly.

Not that I have any interest in saying goodbye to Rocky. I absolutely adore being involved and a part of something that is really a phenomenon.

Well, no. I was getting into trouble messing around with it for roles. So one night I went home, cut it down with a pair of scissors and then got in the bath and shaved it all off. I've never looked back.

I'm surrounded by it. I have so many lovely people around me who are supportive, gentle, kind and considerate. I'm so grateful for every day that I'm on the planet and that continues to be so.

However, there's three reasons for doing things in this particular world. One is love, one is prestige and the other's money. If you get all three together, that's fine.

I've never been driven by fame or money or anything like that. It's never been part of my psyche.

Even though we know freedom as an idea we're not really as free as we think we are.

Yes, but I think the big thing for everyone is to wear what they want and what suits them.

Well, when you do something like Rocky which is indefinable somehow, it always becomes difficult to lose that.

I'm not driven by money and I'm not driven by career.

So all the rest is O.K., but fame is a hollow ground, isn't it? It's an empty kind of thing.

I do like to be creative and I'm very lucky that I've been given different areas in which I'm able to do that - whether it be film or television or theatre or whatever. I'm also still into music and recording.

There is always an audience for different individuals, but critics sometimes stop the audience finding the show and the show finding the audience.

I have done every job in the Theatre apart from wardrobe. I was out of work more times than I was in it.

I would have loved to have been in The Stand. I would also loved to have been in The Mask.

I'm one of those people who never really joined the grown-ups.

To play a role where you get to reveal intellectual change is wonderful.

I never wanted to be aligned to a mature group because they go off and become politicians and stuff.

We were a Western civilisation, an English speaking civilisation, both NZ and Australia, and we had all these influences coming from both Great Britain and America to us; sending us their culture in the shape and form of movies and television.

I am 58 and it's difficult for people to gauge my age.

The fact that someone came forward and offered $1.25 million to make a movie was astonishing. We were also allowed to keep many of the original stage cast.

Writers never get a very good deal in Hollywood.

It is difficult to go on the next night after you receive a sandbagging.

Running is not, as it so often seems, only about what you did in your last race or about how many miles you ran last week. It is, in a much more important way, about community, about appreciating all the miles run by other runners, too.

There’s something about shadows because you make your own mind up about what’s lurking in them.

I sometimes lie awake at night trying to think of something funny that Richard Nixon said.

To me, every hour of the day and night is an unspeakably perfect miracle.

I'm looking forward to providing the men of Seattle with an evening where they can kick back, light up a cigar and enjoy a night to themselves. Women, we can't technically keep you out, but please stay at home.

Prayer: the key of the day and the lock of the night.

I knew that my staying up would not change the election result if I were defeated, while if elected I had a hard day ahead of me. So I thought a night's rest was best in any event.

Tomorrow night is nothing but one long sleepless wrestle with yesterday's omissions and regrets.

You know, nobody eats in England. Three or four pints of English beer a night fills you. I can't say I'm very impressed with the food in America. it's all sort of bland. Like turkey sandwiches.

I wanted to do an episode about Chuck having a gambling problem. I wanted to portray my addiction on the show. But I think it's a little edgy for Saturday night.

What can you conceive more silly and extravagant than to suppose a man racking his brains, and studying night and day how to fly?

On that road of the informer, it is always night. I cannot ever inform against anyone without feeling something die within me. I inform without pleasure, because it is necessary.

We did a different show every night. We'd open a show, and then two weeks later we'd open the next show. And two weeks later we'd open the third show until we had all eight running. And it was just one of the richest experiences I'd ever had in my theatrical life.

I hate leaving home. I love what I do, but I'd love to go home every night.

I was babysitting the night High School Musical premiered last year. I watched with the kids and we sang along to the lyrics. I was making $12 an hour.

The name Air Supply sort of came from nowhere. I get a lot of my things in dreams and I just had a dream about it one night, and I woke up and said that's just got to be the name. That was in 1975.

I have never had problems sleeping the night before a race.

When my mother died, I had to go on air that night and do jokes.
