I'm a collector - I collect everything. I can't throw things away. For some reason I think I'm going to need tiny wooden teddy bears with their arms hacked off.

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.

I have to find out who I am before my doubts discover it first.

The good guys had to operate on a higher level than the killers--just for society to keep track of who was who.

Sometimes the past seems too big for the present to hold.

A great country ought not to make little wars.

Reading is not work, not a chore, not a drudgery; reading is the most joyful thing, yet, in the world.

A good meditation, even when it is interrupted by occasional nodding, is much more beneficial than many outward religious exercises.

In the West, a teacher imparts knowledge to a student. In the East, a teacher transmits nothing more or less than his or her Being.

I'm a free spirit - unfortunately for some.

My lifetime role model and hero is Freddie Mercury of Queen.

In my job I meet many outstanding, world class, British based companies. But we need more companies and more jobs in the companies we have.
