Focus is a matter of deciding what things you're not going to do.

My food hero has to be Auguste Escoffier. And the villain? The man who's been most responsible for the death of food in my time is Ronald McDonald. He's always scared me, I think he's evil - he's a wolf in sheep's clothing. Him and the Hamburglar.

They say love is eternal. They say love is enduring. It always protects always trusta lways hopes always perseveres. Love never fails. It is one of my favorite passages in the bible. There is a quality about that kind of love that transcends our mortal understanding.

Elegance is innate. It has nothing to do with being well dressed. Elegance is refusal.

My shadow in my art is one way I trace who I was and where I have been. My shadow and I have been on a journey for quite a while now!

My eyebrows make a more profound impact on other people than they do on me. I just let 'em grow.

I reluctantly left the series because a) my age. I'm 68 tomorrow and time is very precious for me to spend time at home with my family and especially with the grandchildren. They're aged 7 and 5. After three years I became homesick for my home.

Markets are saying pretty much what I'm saying too: that Greece is doing what it can, but that Greece is not going to be able to carry the weight of all of Europe and the other problems that Europe has.

And I agreed the feeling of action as he was flying or jumping or leaping - a flowing cape would give it movement. It really helped, and it was very easy to draw.

Of the love or hatred God has for the English, I know nothing, but I do know that they will all be thrown out of France, except those who die there.

Running helped me learn how to deal with failure, and failure is a big part of the Internet business.

No one is depressed when theyre being chased by a bear.

I'd like a male to listen to my music and find it kind of fascinating, what a girl goes through when they get heartbroken or get sad or get hurt by something.

For when any one explains himself guardedly nothing is more uncivil than to put a new question.

Musclemen grow on trees. They can tense their muscles and look good in a mirror. So what? I'm interested in practical strength that's going to help me run, jump, twist, punch.

Their poverty secured their freedom, since our desires and our possessions are the strongest fetters of despotism.

If you look at things that really affect people's lives - sport, the arts, charities - they were always at the back of the queue for government money - health, social security, defence, pensions were all way ahead. And each of those areas - sports, the arts, the lottery - got relatively petty cash from the government.

So many people don't know that God loves them. They feel, 'Why would God love me? Why would He be interested in me?'

Photography does deal with 'truth' or a kind of superficial reality better than any of the other arts, but it never questions the nature of reality - it simply reproduces reality. And what good is that when the things of real value in life are invisible?

I'm trying to do it my way. For me to be happy in the business means I have to do it myself.

I always say, 'Perfection is the flaw. It doesn't exist.' I saw something somewhere about 'porcelain pores' - you're not even allowed to have pores anymore!

My dad was the way he was, but he also gave me a motto: never say die. Just to keep pushing and pushing, fighting until the end. He put it in my head that you're always going to fight, and you're always going to beat them.
