Three years after starting by physically doing everything from raising the finance to special effects we'd finally cobbled together our low budget film.

I had a fear of becoming anything a fear of becoming a specialist. I might have become a doctor but if you become a doctor that's your specialty in life and you are defined by it. One of the attractions of being a writer is that you're never a specialist. Your field is entirely open your field is the entire human condition.

Part of what Special Olympics is trying to do is break down stereotypes that still exist for people. There is still a lot of fear.

I am very interested in what has been called bad taste. I believe the fear of displaying a soi-disant bad taste stops us from venturing into special cultural zones.

We all have that burning question about what happens if we lose somebody we love especially if we lose them tragically. We wonder what fear was going on we wonder if we could have reached out and touched them held their hand looked in their eyes been there.

To me my biggest fear is getting a big head and that is when I get the hammer. Because it's very easy in this game to believe you're something special.

Everything we do in life is based on fear especially love.

By virtue of some of the ways the game is played in terms of message discipline in terms of access for reporters and especially in the way that sources and subjects especially famous subjects treat the media almost by default there's more news that's falling into books.

I like photographing the people I love the people I admire the famous and especially the infamous. My last infamous subject was the extreme right wing French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen.

If you ever get rich and famous by definition you are special. You have done something special and therefore you start to behave special. Then if the floor drops out and you become down and out you have a really new perspective.

It's been real weird. It wasn't how I expected my life to turn out. Especially mainly pertaining to the show. It never crossed my mind that one day I'm gonna be big and famous and have my own TV show you know?

Few would argue that Richard Dawkins is the world's most famous atheist especially now that his friend and rival for the title Christopher Hitchens has now gone to meet his Maker.

I've had to deal a lot with my own sense of intimidation at meeting famous people - especially actors but really any famous people.

You do not want to get married at 22! Especially if you're famous because girls are going to be throwing themselves at you.

I would like to prove that on TV everyday lives can be as compelling as the life-styles of the rich and famous. Especially lives that we catch at extraordinary moments.

If somebody for some reason for music or for movie becomes famous it's because they have something something special.

When I'm home the heart and soul of our family is in the kitchen. Growing up my parents both worked so dinnertime was for family - the TV was off. I think it's important to grab that time and really make it special even after a tough day.

Jews have deep respect for the Queen and the royal family. We say a prayer for them every Sabbath in synagogue. We recite a special blessing on seeing the Queen.

Fame is a lot of pressure especially when you're responsible for your entire family. Financially emotionally - everything.

It's not common for a woman on television especially if she's the mom of the family to be funny. She's usually a straight man or foil.

I don't think quantity time is as special as quality time with your family.

It never occurred to me that I wouldn't go to college and have a career - as well as a family - of my own. Both my parents but especially my mother encouraged me and led me to believe that it was possible.

A family is very special. So when a family splits up it's not good it's never good.

I'm often asked if I regret not going to Hollywood. I'm glad I didn't go because if I had I wouldn't have my extended family which is the fabric of my life. Only recently have I realised how special and unusual it is.
