Obviously death is a theme I'm fascinated by.

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.

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.

Happiness is the good life that is marked by flourishing well-being, joy, prosperity, peace, satisfaction, and pleasure.

99.9% of plumbers make less than a quarter million dollars a year, and I'm going to give Joe a break whether he wants it or not.

China is very concerned about the Iranian nuclear issue.

If I asked for a cup of coffee, someone would search for the double meaning.

An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field.

Spiritual lust causes me to demand an answer from God, instead of seeking God Himself who gives the answer.

It's the repetitive thing that brings space. That's one of the things I love secretly about hip-hop. Jazz doesn't have that element. It changes every bar, nothing is ever the same.

It’s okay to wonder how you could try so hard and still get stomped all over. Just don’t let them change you.

Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who posses it; and this I know, my lords: that where law ends, tyranny begins.
