I am extremely content in my life - sometimes to the point where I really should find something to moan about!

Cuba is such a beautiful country, and everywhere you go, there's music and people dancing - especially in Havana.

I do believe in an afterlife. I try to be at one with people and try to love life as much as I can.

I just love doing costume dramas; I am very lucky, as I see myself as a part-time time traveller.

I am always baffled by age, but to be honest with you, I feel like I am about 34. I feel better now and I am certainly healthier than I was in my early 30s. I am more rounded too.

I'm on a constant path of self-discovery and change. I'm trying to become a better person, a nicer person. I love therapy - it's brilliant.

I think it's healthy to be insecure, to have nerves.

My dad's so likeable, you wouldn't feel in competition with him. If any boyfriends have ever felt that, they're long gone.

Ever since I can remember feeling love for my parents, I've been frightened of losing them.

Being a mum is something that's never bothered me too much. I have never felt a strong need to have children, but I am not averse to it either.

The potion drunk by lovers is prepared by no one but themselves. The potion is the sum of one's whole existence.

Certainly my parents were a huge influence. They always expected the most out of all of us. And expected us to do our very best. I'm thankful to them for allowing me to do what I wanted to do.

Medical scientists are nice people, but you should not let them treat you.

Indeed, in general, healthy investment returns cannot be sustained in a weak economy, and of course it is difficult to save for retirement or other goals without the income from a job.

Baseball is a game of averages, but over a short period of time, to have a little luck going is not a bad thing.

I am convinced that these heavenly beings exist and that they provide unseen aid on our behalf.

Neither is it safe to count upon the weakness of any man's understanding, who is thoroughly possessed of the spirit of revenge to sharpen his invention.

I'm hitting the driver so good I gotta dial the operator for long distance after I hit it.

There is no such thing as a weekend for me when I'm at home on my ranch in Oregon.

I love amazing people. I love dazzling them. That's why I think performing magic is one of the greatest things a person can do.
