One of the difficulties of being a writer must be that you create drama that you can't live out. That's one of the wonderful things about acting.

I'm not really big on slapstick humor. I like gentle humor.

I'm not all that big on rides. I sort of like bumper cars but I don't really go to Disneyland all that much unless if have nieces and nephews or people to take.

I had one nanny who made me sit in front of a bowl of porridge for three or four days running when I refused to eat it. I remember being very unhappy about that.

I have two new nephews and a new niece this year, so I have plenty of kids that I can spend time with.

Climate has been changing for billions of years.

For Irishmen, there is no football game to match rugby and if all our young men played rugby not only would we beat England and Wales but France and the whole lot of them put together.

Precisely this is godliness--that there are gods, but no God.

I've learned it's a human responsibility to create fun, not just wait for it.

Vanity working on a weak head, produces every sort of mischief.

The deep inequalities that persist are visible reminders of the effects of apartheid and colonialism. Until these scars are healed, the vision of our Constitution will not have been achieved.

The Moon is our local port opening to the universe; in the future, it's through that port we will sail our ships to the coastless oceans.
