Luckily, West End audiences seem to rather like very old people.

I was unbelievably lucky.

When you're young, you're stupid.

If you rewrite a paragraph fifty times and forty-nine of them are terrible, that's fine; you only need to get it right once.

I feel like the only person in the world who sees David Beckham modelling his swimming pants on the cover of Elle magazine and thinks - oh, how much better a handsome guy like you would look, David, without all those dumb ink stains stitched into your skin.

I don't want people to think you have to look a certain way or be a certain mold to be able to be a quarterback.

I don't think there's one thing more important you can do for your kids than have family dinner.

My theory was that what I had to do was make a study of human behavior.

When you hit a player in the head, you're more apt to get some fisticuffs or, you know, bring both teams out on the field, but it was more accepted that - in the '50s, '60s and '70s. I think nowadays it's a little over-policed because I will always believe that knocking a hitter down, even hitting a hitter at, sometimes, is part of baseball.

It is all too evident that our nation, and the governments of other countries, require all the help they can get in order to fight the War on Terrorism against people who have no qualms about taking the lives of innocent men, women, and children.

Our fathers founded the first secular government that was ever founded in this world. Recollect that. The first secular government - the first government that said every church has exactly the same rights and no more; every religion has the same rights, and no more.

No babies for me until I'm in my 30s! I'm focused on my career right now. I can't even take care of my dog.

I used to be a good party boy. I'm old. I'm an old man. You pay the consequences. I'm just fine with a couple of drinks, no more than that.

The suns glow had given way to a brilliant twilight that colored the great mountains with violet and orange rivers.

know I am getting better at golf because I am hitting fewer spectators.

Perhaps most ridiculous of all is the suggestion that we 'keep' our radioactive garbage for the use of our descendants. This 'solution', I think, requires an immediate poll of the next 20,000 generations.

When you interview celebrities, they're so guarded so many times, they can't reveal anything.

You cannot live to please everyone else. You have to edify, educate and fulfill your own dreams and destiny, and hope that whatever your art is that you're putting out there, if it's received, great, I respect you for receiving it. If it's not received, great, I respect you for not.

I have always looked upon alchemy in natural philosophy to be like enthusiasm in divinity, and to have troubled the world much to the same purpose.

I just feel like, for whatever reason, female playwrights don't really ask me to do their plays. Nothing would make me happier than finding the sisterhood, but I can't make them.

The equity of providence has balanced peculiar sufferings with peculiar enjoyments.

I love the interaction with different kinds of people. I like to shake things up, make a difference.

To help my muscles rebuild after I work out, I have a small serving of cottage cheese.

I consider myself to be a very fortunate person and to have led a very fortunate life.

God himself has no right to be a tyrant.

But I do believe in the paranormal, that there are things our brains just can't understand.

A friend of mine told me a bunch of stuff on Buddhism and about Avicii being the lowest level of Buddhist hell, and it just sort of got stuck in my head. Later on when I went to setup a MySpace, I tried a bunch of names and they were all taken so I just kind of ended up with Avicii and then I got really attached to it.
