I wasn't ever a massive David Essex fan, but I liked a few of his tracks, and Stardust was one of them.

When people meet me I think they're surprised to find out I'm not always angst-ridden.

I don't think I've ever tried to be anything other than a weirdo.

I'm not advocating violence but I think somebody should shoot Simon Cowell.

I want people to feel something in the pit of their stomach. I want my movies, especially the ending, to stay with people long after the credits have rolled.

The mind can store an estimated ioo trillion bits of information compared with which a computer's mere billions are virtually amnesiac.

I'm still very much a Christian and have a great relationship with God. I love Him, but one of my flaws is that I cuss.
