I once did an event with Ian Rankin where he said he didn't really need to do much background research because his books are set in the present, and I just thought: 'You lucky, lucky beast!' because as a historical novelist, I live constantly on the edge of wondering whether tissues had been invented.

Among the disciples of Jesus, it seems most likely that at least Philip was bilingual in Aramaic and Greek.

Let any pretty girl announce a divorce in Hollywood and the wolves come running. Fresh meat for the beast, and they are always hungry.

I started school in the autumn term of 1949 when there was a tomato glut. We had tomatoes in every form known to God, man or beast - and they were all equally detestable. When you pushed them with your fork, a warmish liquid spurted forth. It was rather like sort of bursting a boil.

I was the least Pop of all the Pop artists.

I am not bored at all. I am not bored in the least.

The original theme of 'Beauty and the Beast' is don't judge a book by its cover. Love what's inside.

If you're asking if my breasts are natural, yes, this is how I've looked since I was 13 years old.

A sandwich needn't be loaded with bacon or ham to make it a serious feast.
