As an older and wiser man, I don't believe in luck. I believe in hard work and talent and determination.

I love walking along Leiths waterfront and wandering around some of New Towns beautiful streets and squares, with their gorgeous Georgian architecture.

I have a natural affinity with children and adults who can't accept adult responsibility.

I do love making films. I want to be a filmmaker that grows and progresses and does keep trying to push myself. I think that's it... and a bit of confidence maybe.

I left school with no qualifications, but I was doing theatre and film work and thought that was the best thing since sliced bread.

I always devise a background so that it makes what your character goes through logical and keeps up the continuity.

You don't have to just do what's planned, you can take what's immediately in front of you and use that.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I will work while I can.

Loyalty is just the wheels on the bus ... meaning that it keeps things moving but it's neutral when it comes to the direction they move in.

The sword is the axis of the world and its power is absolute.

I remember playing in my mom's closet with Kim as little girls - we had this game we played, I was Donna Karan, and she was my assistant, and I was really bossy.

That is love, to give away everything, to sacrifice everything, without the slightest desire to get anything in return.3

Accept yourself as you are right now; an imperfect, changing, growing and worthy person.

A volunteer is a person who can see what others cannot see; who can feel what most do not feel.

I still have the desire to succeed, and I've always felt success is measured by what you've done in the win column, not top 10s.

I take something that happened to me in 1983, and I make it happen to somebody else in 1943. I pick my life apart that way, try to understand it better by writing straight through it.
