My earliest acting memory is making up a play for my mom and dad called The Lonesome Baby. I have no idea what The Lonesome Baby was about. I just remember the title. But I'm sure it was an epic.

I don't think that I want to meet any of the icons. I don't think that anybody can quite live up to your expectations.

Usually, certainly British singers, adopt an American accent when they sing and I think that usually people are thinking of somebody else, but I just think of very specific people.

I just find it thrilling, especially when I totally lock in to the person that I am doing and I'm really flying... I suppose I am hiding myself when I sing as these other people.

Mimicking people was something I did already.

I cant read a note of music. I just do it all from ear.

I think that if you idealise someone for so long, they can only disappoint and I wouldn't want to be disappointed by those people.

Having someone else to blame when there is a rude smell in the air.

My own singing voice is not very good and I don't think that anybody really sings in their own voice.

I found that I could make people laugh doing people like Shirley Bassey. Fortunately it worked.

I find singing as somebody else very liberating, it just frees me up.

You don't stop loving someone just because you hate them.

Fight fire with fire.

Man makes holy what he believes as he makes beautiful what he loves.

To live without history is to live like an infant, constantly amazed and challenged by a strange and unnamed world.

If we are to go only halfway or reduce our sights in the face of difficulty... it would be better to not go at all.

I never trust a man that doesn't drink.

Everyone should say what they wanted. It saved time.

Turning down the Lakers was tough, but it is always good to renew your vows to the loves of your life.

Thought, without the data on which to structure that thought, leads nowhere.
