I realized that this story [Shelter] is all about family, family loss, and how it influences you day to day life.

It's weird, because usually if you're British and you go to America you play baddies; but I play naughty people here and goodies in America.

I have an interest in giving people a cathartic experience, and making them look at homeless people differently, and making them question how they judge people, in general.

I have no interest in movies that take you somewhere dark and leave you there, for no reason.

I don't go to see bands any more because I've got tinnitus, so I have to avoid loud music. You get used to it, but when it's quiet you hear a constant ringing.

The requirements of romantic love are difficult to satisfy in the back seat of a Dodge Dart.

I am pleased to inform you of the decision of the Government of the Republic of Iraq to allow the return of the United Nations weapons inspectors to Iraq without conditions.

Of all the things I have been privileged to do and experience in life, the highest honor has been fatherhood. Wishing Fathers everywhere a wonderful day.

Let me assure you that all of our pets, and animals of every kind will be with us for eternity on the Other Side.

I think doing something that's different, that's out of your comfort zone is important.
