I love in Notting Hill. You live in Beverly Hills. Everyone in the world knows who you are. My mother has trouble remembering my name.

Basically, my life is so boring, it's embarrassing.

You know everyone loves to be the villain.

My grandmother was utterly convinced I'd wind up as the Archbishop of Canterbury. And, to be honest, I've never entirely ruled it out.

I just don't believe in love at first sight any more, even though I've based my whole career on the concept.

I'm a laugh tart. I make no secret of that fact.

Now [after doing Pilates], I have muscles of steel and could easily deal with giving birth.

This desk of mine is one at which a man may die, but from which he cannot resign.

Every child should have an occasional pat on the back as long as it is applied low enough and hard enough.

Who wants those gleaming white cosmetically enhanced American teeth?

Zinedine Zidane could be a champion sumo wrestler. He can run like a crab or a gazelle.

I participated on debating teams and in student government, and served as senior class president.

He rarely knows the result of a battle when the battle is over.
