I drifted into acting, and I've drifted into my career, and I've never been guided by anything particularly concrete.

Not being anxious requires a level of humility, doesn't it? It does, I think. It's not all about you.

I never went to acting school. I started in the circus, music hall, I was in a group, did kids bits. Ive always had this kind of insecurity being uneducated.

I'm entirely uneducated. I went to public school - public in the American sense - a blue-collar, working-class school. I never got a scholarship, I left when I was 15, never did any exams.

I'm crap at interviews. I'm just not very good at sentences.

I just think the older I get, actually, the better I feel.

I don't plan. I don't think, 'I have to do this kind of part 'cause I've done that kind of part.' I'm not a very good planner.

I was a dozy boy; I'd like to have been like James Dean, but I was more Arthur Askey - pathetically rebellious in a cheeky, chappy sort of way.

iv. who was it who invented size zero? who was it who promised that if you got to a certain point you would no longer be?

I am a lucky, lucky person.

The man was running away with the rest, and selling his papers for a shilling each as he ran—a grotesque mingling of profit and panic.

The Blossoms and leaves in plenty From the apple tree fall each day; The merry breezes approach them, And with them merrily play.

You have family-owned businesses that have been around for 500 years. You cannot name a corporation that survives intact for even a few decades.

All forms of involuntary servitude are prohibited, not only slavery but also conscription, forced association, and forced welfare distribution.

I used to love writing in my journal.

Monsieur l'abbé, I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write.
