I was under contract to Paramount. They wanted to make me into somebody which I was not. So I got so scared and rebelled, so they threw me out of the studio.

Even if you have $20,000 to buy an item, you still try to get a good price at antique stores. I collect furniture, rugs, paintings, frames. It's my hobby to go around to shops and markets.

When I go to a country, I go to flea markets, antique stores. I am always looking for something.

They offered me one cover about 10 years ago, and I said, no, I can't do it. I'm happy to cover up now.

Collecting is my passion.

I take care of my flowers and my cats. And enjoy food. And that's living.

Collecting is my joy; it gives me great satisfaction.

I love everything that's beautiful. A lot of things.

I wanted to be a decorator. I wanted to interior design homes and do everything myself.

I hate to look at myself in a mirror, and I never go and see films.

Everything is a piece of me, a moment of my life.

No sooner is there a good thing in the world, than a division is necessary.

The purse is the mirror of the soul.

Trust me, I know what I'm doing.

Marriage is not absolutely for making children. But it is absolutely for making children followers of Jesus.

We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves.

If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared.

To say that a bad government must be established for fear of anarchy is really saying that we should kill ourselves for fear of dying.

The true eye for talent presupposes the true reverence for it.

I like to be other people, not me. And when you're on the red carpet, it's like, 'Here's Tom Hardy.' I don't want to be me. That's why I play other people.

If all those people are getting wet to welcome me, surely the least I can do is get wet too!
