I've long been really intrigued with what is the ... proper role of faith and religion in public life.

Sometimes there are things worth risking your life for. It was Jesus who said if you want to save your life, you have to lose it.

I think there's a terrible price to be paid when your exterior life is not an honest reflection of your interior life.

My policy is to be able to take a ticket at Victoria station and go anywhere I damn well please!

The challenge for me is still to do something that hasn't been beaten into the movie going consciousness. Otherwise what am I in it for?

But you will admit that it's a good thing to be alive.

I'm amazed that anyone is interested in what I have to say.
