Yeah, Dundee was great. It was a great film. I fell in love with my Mexican wife on Dundee.

Oh, I find it very easy to fall in love.

The Price Is Right can really get me going.

The end of a picture is always an end of a life.

The short story and the truth is that I was taking vocal lessons here in New York... One day, instead of my lesson, the piano player and I went into a studio... and we put down some demos... Those demos got to Quincy Jones through an agent... He listened to them, he called me, and we started to record.

It's easy for guys to listen to another guy for support, but if it's a female, they seem to shy away from it, like they don't want to be a sucker, you know what I'm saying? So we kind of got to go harder.

Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry stressed or offended. But what youre doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you.

What is our task? To make Britain a fit country for heroes to live in.

I grew up partially in Switzerland but mostly in Australia. I lived in Kakadu for a short time - it's an Aboriginal community. My best friend growing up was Aboriginal. She taught me so much.

Country was about character. Country's changed because of monsters like Clear Channel who bought up all the stations and sliced them up into formats. Our demographic is now the soccer mom.

A woman is more than the sum of her parts.

The pool is terrible, but that doesn't have much to do with my record swims. That's all mental attitude.

Some say I'm an overnight success. Well, that was a very long night that lasted about 10 years. But while I do, of course, now feel the pressure having had books that have been very successful, I just know I have to concentrate on writing for myself. I can't worry about genres or markets or what might be commercial or not. That never works.

Never eat at a Chinese restaurant named Mama Teresa's Trattoria.

Don't throw stones at your neighbors if your own windows are glass.

I literally think I look bad in every picture.

I meet people from really grand backgrounds who had horrible parents who took no interest in them, whereas I'm a working-class boy from Deptford who was worshipped by all my rellies. Everybody in my extended family helped to raise me, and I realise now how lucky I was to grow up among kind folk.

You should write, first of all, to please yourself. You shouldn't care a damn about anybody else at all. But writing can't be a way of life; the important part of writing is living. You have to live in such a way that your writing emerges from it.

You can't have a sustainable US economy without a great education system. Teach students to do the job right. You don't have an innovative economy unless you have a great education.

Self care is never a selfish act it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have the gift I was put on earth to offer to others.

The fact of being an underdog changes people in ways that we often fail to appreciate. It opens doors and creates opportunities and enlightens and permits things that might otherwise have seemed unthinkable.

I'm a professional, and I have to always do my job.

A polite enemy is just as difficult to discredit, as a rude friend is to protect.

I hate love. Hate being in love. I never want it to happen to me again.

I always swore I would never write a book. But I read Clare Balding's and it was really interesting and so prettily written and lovely and not too revealing. I went to her book launch and met her editor who said 'why don't you think about it? You can do it however you want, based on your characters or you.'

Looking back at my earlier pictures, I think that the work is very much coming from the same place. I have gone through a period of challenging myself with a complicated idea to currently challenging myself with the idea of simplicity.

We do not covet one inch of Lebanese territory, and the basis for the peace treaty between our two countries will be the international border, which exists now, between Rosh Haniqra and Ras en Naqura.
