You've got to learn to handle the press because god knows the government does all the time.

I'm particularly committed to the political people who needed defense. I understand that they're fighting a bigger war than just, "Let me go get some money for cocaine tonight."

You're working not for the corporate interest, not for the government interest, not for your own self-interest. You have a higher calling.

I took anything that came across my doorstep. I started getting a reputation.

I don't hold with the notion that only bad books make good movies.

My mum brought me up to think that personal happiness is more important than your family.

I think I'd struggle to get excited by synchronised swimming.

I'm constantly thinking about trying to piece together collaborators... All disciplines can be narrow.

To be a champion you must act like one, act like a champion.

Satyagraha, of which civil resistance is but a part, is to me the universal law of life.

What is now an act of reason, was but blind impulse.
