I'm not wild about holidays. They always seem a ludicrously expensive way of proving there's no place like home.

Never drink black coffee at lunch; it will keep you awake all afternoon.

The male - I have found - is a domestic animal which, if treated with firmness and kindness, can be trained to do most things.

I have a theory that the secret of marital happiness is simple: drink in different pubs to your other half.

Youve simply got to go on and on with your family and friends and tell them how much you love them because you never know whether theyll be there tomorrow, do you?

At home I have big vats of cabbage soup that I make to slim down.

For sheer sexiness, a man must be beautiful. Funny. yes. Clever, no.

I love the long grass coming up to meet the willows.

If you feel compelled to give a New Year's Eve party, don't invite people to arrive too early or they'll go off the boil before midnight.

People who can write a book usually do.

I was so flattered that someone wanted me to write a book, I said I would. It was published in 1969.

It is in the social sphere, in the realm of politics and economics, that the Will to Order becomes really dangerous.

I want people to hear the presence of God in the music.

I just wanted to make sure I had the music true to me and the life I'm living and to what I really want to say. That's super important to me.

If I feel strongly about anything, I get overwhelmed with emotion.

May all that have life be delivered from suffering.

Sport, that wrinkled Care derides, And Laughter holding both his sides. Come and trip it as ye go, On the light fantastic toe.

There comes a morning in life when you wake up a new person; that is to say, you wake up the same person but you realize it's your own fault.

This is hands down the biggest, most exciting thing I've ever been involved with in my life. I can only compare it to my Bar Mitzvah.

People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.

Cristiano Ronaldo has done massive things in both the Premier League and in the Champions League, but Messi is the best though and I am convinced that next year he will win the Ballon d'Or.
