I am a smiling depressive.

I don't do game shows.

Daddy loves you, but he smacks you, and he can shout at you and smash things, but Daddy still loves you. So when you get into a relationship with someone who does all of that, why would it be unusual?

If you go to most third world countries, the older woman dispenses advice to the arguing couple while other members of the family, or even the village, sit around and listen. It is no big deal.

I am an addictive personality.

I'll get into a pattern where I start sleeping only between 12 and 3.30, and go for weeks like that.

I suggest that instead of criticising us, the establishment has a bloody good look at itself.

It is ridiculous that somebody picks up the phone and calls somebody they see on television. Why don't they call somebody in their area? Don't they know about that?

If you are in the job for glamour, you're in for the shock of your life. The media is a huge shark pool.

I had this stereotypical view that black people apart from me probably threw stones and lived in huts.

There is a learning quality in all of our shows.

I suppose in London they all drink from the same watering holes.

I work very hard to keep on an even keel as far as alcohol is concerned.

I speak to people who have been through so much more.

We see the people that have got stars in their eyes, but if you've really got what it takes, you can get from, say the beginnings, to the top in about five years.

Because my father was a psychiatric nurse, I know my way around the system.

It was only literally hours after the wedding when he felt he didn't have to keep up the facade.

Psychiatrists always say, Oh, we're very professional. I use exercise as my medication.

I can be horrifically single-minded.

Why don't you compare me to Sally Jessy Raphael?

I am a smiling depressive.

I know I can get to the stage where I'm drinking a lot. I tend to be rotten and groggy all day and hanging out for the next drink and five o'clock, ping! I have to just stop.

Somebody like me wouldn't have gone on to the Trisha show because I already had a public profile.

Most of my peers in television seem to be from a different planet. I don't hang out with any of them.

I find myself thinking: Oh God, now what? I always have to have a new plan, otherwise I get very, very bored.

I'll get up in the morning while they've all got hangovers and run my 5 miles. But the women who do run are usually 10 years younger than me and they're really obsessed about running. That's all they do. They're really boring.

I've had a lot of cognitive behavioural therapy, and am having a family now.

If a brand genuinely wants to make a social contribution, it should start with who they are, not what they do. For only when a brand has defined itself and its core values can it identify causes or social responsibility initiatives that are in alignment with its authentic brand story.

What's really fun is seeing mothers bringing their daughters to the shows. And the best part is the mothers know they don't have to worry about sexual innuendo in the songs. The shows are family shows.

Let me say it diplomatically: Most religions are tribal to some degree.

Failure is not a crime. The crime is not trying.

And then I got into sports and gave my guitar to my brother Jeff who was just a little kid at that time.

Cruelty might be very human and it might be cultural but its not acceptable.

It's hard to find a place where you're out of earshot of some kind of noise.

When I'm in the car sometimes it's like, 'Yeah, man, just put on the pop music.' You know what I mean? I don't want to listen to Tom Waits.

We must look after football and to do what it is necessary to bring to the game the best ethical values and personal behaviour.

Love is a credulous thing.

I have always maintained that if you work hard, it won't go waste, as recognition will come to you at some stage, whether in studies or sports. You need to have good intentions and intent to move ahead in life as well as in sports.

Passion is what adds so much value to life. And if you think about the things that you do, there's so much juice potential for them if you do it.

I feel like girls should dress down a little bit on the holidays, even though the instinct is to get really dressed up.

'EIla Enchanted' began in a marvelous writing course at New York City's The New School.

The seeds of evil blooms in the fields of negligence.

From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow.

The faster you can get your ideas in contact with the real world, the faster you can discover what is broken with your idea.

I feel it's a person's duty to participate in the governing of the country in which he lives.

To find extraordinary things go to the ordinary streets

I just enjoy working with really wonderful actors and amazing creative people and I hope to keep doing that, no matter where.

I had a portable 8-track player under all my ramps, cranking one of my four 8-tracks - Cars/'Candy-O,' Ramones/'Road To Ruin,' Cheap Trick/'Heaven Tonight' and the first Devo record. I don't remember skating without music.

Let's remember, the CIA's job is to go out and create wars.
