I don't have all that great an awareness of how people see me in life. I don't find myself thinking about it a lot.

I'm not really big on slapstick humor. I like gentle humor.

I'm not all that big on rides. I sort of like bumper cars but I don't really go to Disneyland all that much unless if have nieces and nephews or people to take.

I had one nanny who made me sit in front of a bowl of porridge for three or four days running when I refused to eat it. I remember being very unhappy about that.

I have two new nephews and a new niece this year, so I have plenty of kids that I can spend time with.

What I like to think, and perhaps it is an adolescent thought, is that anything can happen. As long as you think that anything can happen, it will. We're all allowed to have our dreams.

Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking Program achieved for me a thing that I thought was not possible - to give up a thirty year smoking habit literally overnight. It was nothing short of a miracle.

What you have to remember is that the great feelings come after the terrible ones.

Being called a person, as such, indicates that one should only have one character and be true to it.

I like it when you read a script and there's the part that you show to the other characters and then there's the part that only the audience knows.

I do like the ocean wave, actually. I'm born under the sign of Cancer - the sign of the crab - so I like coastal areas and sunny beaches and such - although not the wide-open and deep seas.

If we could see the beauty and miracle of transformation that happens to us every second, we would never complain again.

Politics for me started in violence.

I don't like to play slow or softly. I like to play hard. Always.

Job growth well in excess of population increase would be a very good thing if it were only that easy.

In high school I was on the basketball team, but the coach did something I didn't dig and the next day he looked up and saw me practising with the football team.

The greatest achievement of humanity is not its works of art, science, or technology, but the recognition of its own dysfunction.

You cannot legislate an attitude.

I actually do like playing off-beat people. I think it's more fun.

Everything had been based on a kind of certainty, a sense of man at the center of things, a sense of order and hierarchy. And suddenly, almost simultaneously, extraordinary discoveries are made.

There is something to be said for government by a great aristocracy which has furnished leaders to the nation in peace and war for generations; even a Democrat like myself must admit this.
