You feel your game's raised by working with the best people.

Proving yourself in a field where the casualty rate is so notoriously high is an ongoing challenge.

Never give up. You only get one life. Go for it!

I place an enormous premium on loyalty. If someone betrays me, I can forgive them rationally, but emotionally I have found it impossible to do so.

Anthony Hopkins says you just keep acting. Do it all the time and eventually it will happen. He got his break, after all, by taking a role nobody else wanted. A cannibal!

I have been incredibly privileged with my roles - after all I have had the chance to do some fantastic fun acting such as the Spice Girls Movie - who can ever forget that!

Always have an answer - even if you change your mind five minutes later.

You finish a movie and you think, there, you've done it, really well, or best you can. But if you watch it, you see it was just bollocks.

Time and time again I was told that I would never make the film on time and never make it on budget. That kind of criticism tends to turn me into a great big motor of efficiency.

Presumption should never make us neglect that which appears easy to us, nor despair make us lose courage at the sight of difficulties.

God does not so much want us to do things as to let people see what He can do.

I've even said to other countries - I've said, "Listen, you're charging us a lot. We're going to charge you the same thing." They shrug their shoulders. They can't fight it.

The male capacity for turning the negative into a compliment is really alarming.

The big problem for a democratic government - democrat with a small "d" - is how to hold down government spending.

Life is long. Just because you don't get your chance right when you want or expect it doesn't mean it won't come. Fate doesn't punch a time clock or consult a schedule.

I think that a musician is like a doctor, he's supposed to heal people and make them feel better.

Apple has a culture of excellence that is, I think, so unique and so special. I'm not going to witness or permit the change of it.
