My own belief is that people can come back from anything. It doesn't mean that it won't come at a huge cost.

Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once and it's too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst.

I felt pride, wonderful pride, when I was captain. It was an honour to take over from Labby. Anybody who has ever captained a big club, which Everton are, will tell you it's a great honour.

Directing is physically exciting because there's a ticking clock, you're working with people, it's very social, it's very enjoyable.

Once Everton has touched you, nothing will be the same.

We live in a time where there's an alienation factor. There's a certain disconnection. We don't have any real sense of community anymore.

It's a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself. Makes you wonder what else you can do that you've forgotten about.

I would say try to tell stories that you care about as opposed to stories that you think will sell.

I believe forgiveness is possible for everybody, for everything, but I'm a Buddhist.

I'm from the South, so while I personally find it impossible to live there, I still have a fondness for it as a geographical region.

I'm a Buddhist, so one of my biggest beliefs is, 'Everything changes, don't take it personally.'

You do stand alone sometimes. But my mother stood by me through all this.

No state will be well administered unless the middle class holds sway.

You have inherited (the) most from yourself, not from your family! The family is only a river through which Soul flows.

The FBI. is a massive culture. It's been a culture that served America well, and it's been focused on prosecution. But what we need in terms of terrorism is prevention.

One's knowledge and experience are definitely limited and there are seldom more than two or three enterprises at any given time in which I personally feel myself entitled to put full confidence.

You are not competing with anyone else. You are only competing with yourself to do the best with whatever you have received.

Like Nietzsche, I believe that without music, life would be a mistake. Nothing but silence says it better.

If you spend any time on the shooting of a drama, for television or movies, it's very slow and there's a lot of standing around.

Simply because something is not visible it doesn't mean that it is not there.
