The worst thing you can do to a kid is tell them that their dreams are invalid.

I kind of imagine myself at eighty, a cat lady.

Dreams, they're what sets us apart from being mere a brain and a body.

Like everybody I have many different sides.

Adults are just children sometimes. But evil, hurt children.

Because I'm not perfect looking, I get to play better roles.

My focus, my life, my world is now. You just can't plan the future.

What I get in rock 'n' roll that I don't get in movies is that connection with people. With music it's instantaneous, and just to watch people light up, it's really amazing. I love that connection.

Being beautiful can be a curse, especially if you want to be an artist and create.

Rock'n'roll to me is a rebellion against the sterile pedestal culture of movies.

I think I can be beautiful with all the little stuff done, and I can be ugly. A lot of attractive actresses can't be ugly.

If I could, I would live forever in this moment. But no one can live in a moment, and time moves on.

This is my job and I respect it enough to concentrate on it.

If you are ready for mystical experiences, you have them.

Where there is no religion, hypocrisy becomes good taste.

You have to have doubts. I have collaborators I work with. I listen and then I decide. That's how it works.

There is no point in being precise if you do not even know what you are talking about.

Griffin Bell later apologized to me for that decision.

I was never really attached to a clique, and I wanted to be in all the different groups; I was never a one-group kind of person. I think that's still part of my personality today.

I'll probably always be 'Timothy Spall's son' and it's something I'm proud of. Maybe one day as well as that, they'll say of Timothy Spall that 'He's Rafe Spall's dad'.

We notice what we choose to notice.
