At my core, the glass isn't half-empty, it's not even what I ordered in the first place.

I'm not frightened of a bit of silence.

I will absolutely say that whatever job I was asked to do, whatever schedule I was asked to work, it is never going to be as hard as looking after a child.

My advice to you is please don't ever sit in your room and lock yourself away because you don't think you're good enough.

I'm naturally quite lazy, and I actually think I'm lax about my career. None of my work defines who I am.

I'm an incredibly negative person, so any form of success is only ever going to be a relief to me and set my default position back to neutral.

Although I was a shy child, I was also a bit flamboyant.

I've realised I need a gnawing, nagging, anxious doubt when I wake at 4 A.M.

Because I was a shy and awkward child, I used humour to deflect attention. It was a controlling mechanism. Because I could use it to control my image.

It's never been a point of reference to look to a man. It's not always a good thing, I suppose, but I think independence is always preferable to dependence.

Don't think that just because you made it to the next level that the haters and naysayers disappear. Remember, new levels bring new devils.

I have seen many educated persons splitting garbage over roads and many uneducated persons cleaning it.

I like to let ideas simmer in my brain until they're well done.

Perhaps the only real failure is that implying waste a conscious and flagrant non-use or misuse of ability.

I don't enter, I'm entered. It's up to someone else. It's up to them.

Look how often the unexpected happens - yet we still never expect it.

When I was little, I used to work with my dad on the engine of his car. Mostly this was a matter of me handing him wrenches.

You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

It’s an incredibly exciting thing, this one, meaningless life of yours.

I pity them greatly, but I must be mum, for how could we do without sugar and rum?
