I saw Islam as the correct way to live, and I chose to try to live that way.

I think if we wish to live in any kind of a moral universe, we must hold the perpetrators of violence responsible for the violence they perpetrate. It's very simple. The criminal is responsible for the crime.

Anyone who criticises me for talking about fair trade is a few pebbles short of a beach. Because everyone should care about it, just like everyone should care about the environment, because we all live here.

I can't act, and so I have to live that particular character in my real life and then exhibit it on screen.

I also want to draw attention to the responsibilities that people have to live up to their election promises and to live up to the votes that were cast by the people of Wales, in the General Election, in the expectation that we would deliver this promise.

I live in London. But during lockdown I moved back to Yorkshire with my mum and dad.

We have to live with our loneliness and the destiny that drives each person to the order of things.

The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.

Look realistically at espionage thrillers again. They're not only alive, readers are excited about them.

You really have to act your pants off to stay alive. I thrive on that; I rise to the occasion of the circumstances.

Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for.

Songs always get better after you start playing them live.

I would say that I would do the same thing with any other members of the rascals that are still alive.

I've always enjoyed acting, and there's more than a degree of it involved in singing live on stage.

I'm just living life and enjoying it. Alive, kicking, and doing good. That's what a real winner is.

Yes, I've often been threatened by hunters, by horsemeat butchers, and seal murderers... I am still alive!

I am a fellow commoner at Lucy Cavendish College. My husband used to be a lecturer at Leeds University, and we lived in Yorkshire for 11 years. When he gave up his job, we realised we could live wherever we liked.

I suppose we do live a pretty isolated life.

I sign up whatever live shows I get simply because every gig is a chance to reach out directly to the audience. When it comes to gigs, I try mixing personal picks with what the audience demands.

I have a whole new appreciation for Carroll Shelby, the Ford program of the 1960s, and it's awesome that Superformance is keeping the dream alive with their incredible cars.
