I'm quite a romantic person - everyone loves being treated a little bit special, no matter how hard you are on the surface. I live in movie land; my head is full of nonsense.

Everyone loves a good singsong, so we all do a bit of karaoke or something.

Music has always been there for me and is what's helped me through everything. It's like my solace.

Women are great bullsh*t detectors. They know when it's not real.

Songwriters tend to make records instead of talking to people.

There is nothing better for me than to bring the bells in, in Scotland.

I can have a whole year off. I'm really lucky because I'm my own boss, so I make the rules and get to choose when I take time off.

I bought a dress a few years ago for £2,500. It was outrageous and not the kind of money you want to be spending. I had a mad moment that day.

I sometimes have a tendency to walk on the dark side.

If joy or urgency are missing from our presentation of the gospel, then our testimony to Christ will be missing that sort of fullness that we find in the New Testament.

The Hollywood system has its own problems. Movie making is never an easy job.

There is nothing as easy as denouncing. It don't take much to see that something is wrong, but it does take some eyesight to see what will put it right again
