I hate the word wholesome.

No one can be profoundly original who does not avoid eccentricity.

The man who does evil to another does evil to himself, and the evil counsel is most evil for him who counsels it.

I'm somebody who gets a lot of inspiration from dreams.

It's mostly directors whom I get starstruck around.

New Labour has deregulated, liberalised and privatised - but every time the private sector fails it is the taxpayer who pays.

The struggles don't define you. It's how you handle them that determines who you are.

He who goes unenvied shall not be admired.

There's always somebody who is paid too much, and taxed too little - and it's always somebody else.

I'm one of those guys a lot of people watch, imitate, and then make it seem like they were the ones who did it first.

A leader who is a benevolent dictator is actually a democrat by spirit.

It would be a foolish high representative who worked that way.

There isn't a featherweight who can beat me.

The number of contemporary artists who appeal to me is infinitesimal.

Definitely, in any teaching situation, there are the clueless students; then there are the ones who get it a little quicker.

For a while, I thought a lot about lineage. Where do I belong? Who am I standing next to?

No offense to kids who have kids, but, ugh, I don't need that.
