All the other children at my school are stupid. Except I'm not meant to call them stupid, even though this is what they are.

I like dogs. You always know what a dog is thinking. It has four moods. Happy, sad, cross and concentrating. Also, dogs are faithful and they do not tell lies because they cannot talk.

On the fifth day, which was a Sunday, it rained very hard. I like it when it rains hard. It sounds like white noise everywhere, which is like silence but not empty.

And this shows that sometimes people want to be stupid and they do not want to know the truth.

... why I like timetables, because they make sure I don't get lost in time.

I want my name to mean me.

I find people confusing.

Lots of things are mysteries. But that doesn't mean there isn't an answer to them. It's just that scientists haven't found the answer yet.

And I know I can do this because I went to London on my own, and because I solved the mystery…and I was brave and I wrote a book and that means I can do anything.

But I said that you could still want something that is very unlikely to happen.

I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them

All that is not eternal is eternally out of date.

Sometimes I intentionally cut it off. I just want to be in silence, especially when I'm traveling. I watch movies without sound.

Every reader gets something different from a book and every reader, in a sense, completes it in a different way.

To me, the object of practicing is to allow you to play what you hear. But you're always hearing new things, so you never get to the end of it.

It's okay to not be superwoman all the time.

You can't show me an ad on TV with hard bodies and say I have to buy that car. You have to tell me why that car is better and safer than another car.

The words that are coming out of my mouth and how I mean them, it's so much different.

If you have made three or four films, my feeling is, he is older than me because I am still making my first movie. That helps me.

I'm not one to dwell on rehearsal or preparation.

People today dont become economists to make the world a better place.
