I mean, I'm obviously not one of those people who's so beautiful women take their clothes off when I walk into the room. I didn't become a star overnight.

It's hell with that big beard and stuff. That's the one bit I don't like. Either you take out at lunch or you don't eat. So I opted not to eat, 'cause having to put it on twice is horrific.

I've got two young kids. I don't know what the future holds.

Well, I quite like animals, but theyre unpredictable. I mean, look at old whats-his-name in Vegas. Tiger dragged him off the stage, you know? The guy brought up tigers. Theyre quite unpredictable.

I love films where the world seems to be going a bit faster and everything's a bit brighter and more in focus.

I knew it was going to be enormous because of the number of people who bought the books, but, to be honest, I never thought it would be bigger than Bond. Never in a million years.

It's like going back to school. You know, autumn! Time for 'Harry Potter'.

Traveling is as subtle as an early morning reverence.

You are what you think, not what others think of you.

We can't be brave without fear.

This sense of the safe-deposit box as a totem of responsible security inspired me to rent a box myself shortly after the birth of our first child….

As estimated, you died. Things marched, sufficient, to that end. Just so much Zyklon and leather, patented terror, so many routine cries.

I don't talk about success. I don't know what it is. Wait until I'm dead.

Suffering perfects the soul.

The idea isn't to find yourself another environment for tomorrow, but to be constantly creating the environment and community you want for yourself, no matter what may occur.

White folks still in the lead.

I seem to have very polite fans, not fanatical ones.
