I have made six big home moves in my life and I have never lost money on one I have lived in.

The first rule of management is delegation. Don't try and do everything yourself because you can't.

Whether it's cushions you only use outside in the summer, or blankets that only come out in the winter, you've always got to think of where to store them.

If you are a housewife, take pride in that.

Rearranging furniture, adding some candles, or making even small tweaks can really make the difference.

People who earn reasonable amounts are being turned into the anti-Christ. I think 45 per cent tax is a colossal amount to take off somebody, and it is taking away the incentive to earn.

Run a home like you would a small business and treat it with the same seriousness.

I grew up in a world before people had credit cards. There were no magic cards - it was all about budgeting.

A proper family diary with everyone's events and parties in it really helps organise the household.

It's cool to have a well run, comfortable and inviting home.

Of course, we all have to be taxed, but once you start to earn more than £150,000, and start paying 45 per cent tax, you are penalised. It is like a witch hunt.

May I remember the goodness of the Lord at all times.

The worst thing for people to say about your movies is, "Yeah, it was pretty good, but it was too damn long.".

The United States is the greatest law factory the world has ever known.

When you're pro-life, you need to be pro-life for the whole life.

It takes so long to put a movie into production and finish it that anyone with a bad idea has time to give it to you before the movie is completed.

Part of the power of song is that it is a beautiful expression of devotion...singing releases the pent-up joy and thanksgiving we feel because of God's grace and goodness.

Not winning a tournament is not an option for me, unless it's no longer theoretically possible - then of course winning becomes impossible. But up to that point, not winning is just not an option.

I'm talking about intellectually and emotionally challenging, but at the same time it's actually not that challenging. So there's this dichotomy.

Karma is an energy debt which you owe or an energy credit which is owed you. Both involve compound interest that is added to the equation making it either a burden or a blessing.

It is the just doom of laziness and gluttony to be inactive without ease and drowsy without tranquility.
