Reactions to the White Paper 1939

My brother, whom I adored, typed out a children's book illustrated by himself... at the age of 14. My sister, with whom I always shared a double bed, had that effortless superiority of someone six years older and anxious to show it. But we were each as shy as voles. It seemed safer to keep to each other's company.

I have a character failing. I am quite incapable of identifying with anything whole-heartedly. Whatever I am doing, I am always planning to do something else. I would rather travel than arrive.

At school, I was always daydreaming and fiddling in inkwells, but I had to learn to grow up and become articulate. And doing that was what brought me into writing songs. It's like therapy for me, because it exposes what I'm really thinking.

It constitutes a superhuman effort to lead any people in times of crisis. Without them, the changes would be impossible.

No one who shares a delusion ever recognizes it as such.

I feel we are all islands - in a common sea.

Rock and Roll is simply an attitude. You dont have to play the greatest guitar.

Needless to say, I would have loved to have been a black belt instead of actually just wearing one to hold up my pants!

I find it exhausting to administer a magazine without an office or paid staff.

The person who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd.

One of the reasons people stop learning is that they become less and less willing to risk failure.

I don't like crying. I'm a country boy, and we're the product of our upbringing. As a boy, I was told that men don't cry.

Most of us take it for granted that the person performing our radiologic procedures is a competent professional. But the fact is, poorly trained individuals examine and treat thousands of patients in this country every day.

Gosh, it's so fun to do a movie where there's nothing dark happening in it.

So long as war is the main business of nations, temporary despotism - despotism during the campaign - is indispensable.

I've been working on this feature script for Master Class, a play by Terrence McNally that won a lot of Tonys.

What strange creatures brothers are

I don't consider myself a good actor.

It's quite fun to mess with the human voice. It's quite special in the sense that the voice is the #1 instrument that we can connect with; it doesn't sound too alien. I think that's the key is to find the line between sounding human and sounding robotic. That's an area that I like to explore a lot.

Presumably what happened to Jesus was what happens to all of us when we die. We decompose. Accounts of Jesus's resurrection and ascension are about as well-documented as Jack and the Beanstalk.

I don't look like Halle Berry. But chances are, she's going to end up looking like me.

I can't say I was like a die-hard zombie fan, but I've definitely seen a few different zombie movies and TV shows.

The stardom thing happened and now I'm trying to make a comeback, if you want to call it that.

Sporting success doesn't happen by accident. It takes hard work and determination on the part of the individual athletes. And it also takes investment in facilities and training support.
