Well Freddie Mercury is a really huge rock star in my head. I've always thought he was just so tough and such an amazing entertainer really a contradiction in many ways as well. So he was incredible.

It's odd because I used to see pictures on telly or wherever of what I now know to be Shaftesbury Avenue and I used to wonder what that amazing street with all the lights was. Well now I know. I think when you get a wee taste of something it maybe isn't what you thought it was.

I have amazing people around me. I couldn't be in a better place. I'm grateful for my life and where I'm at. I never thought I could be in the position that I'm in.

Well I've always thought that my career was in England really. I used to do more in the theatre and I felt that I should be there. It's not far is it? It's amazing the way that special FX have taken a quantum leap in what they're capable of doing.

Each of us have things and thoughts and descriptions of an amazing universe in our possession that kings in the 17th Century would have gone to war to possess.

I thought after the Pulitzer at least nothing will surprise me quite that much in my life. And another one happened. It was quite amazing.

And I thought when I have kids that's the sort of well told silly and fun fairy tale that I would want to take them to. But it was an amazing experience. And I think Shrek is a real classic a fairy tale classic.

I started running outside when I was at 'Biggest Loser.' Then I got runner's knee and thought I was never going to be able to shake it. When I overcame that and ran the L.A. Marathon it was such an amazing thing and now running is such a part of my routine.

I don't know how many thoughts we have a second but it's quite an amazing number and just to pin down the appropriate sequence of those all you really need is a pencil and a piece of paper.

I've had some amazing people in my life. Look at my father - he came from a small fishing village of five hundred people and at six foot four with giant ears and a kind of very odd expression thought he could be a movie star. So go figure you know?

I thought I was dreaming. It was the most amazing moment of my entire life. Not only is Bill the love of my life but he's also my best friend. I couldn't believe my dream guy was asking me to marry him!

When I was little I saw the play 'Les Miserables' on Broadway I thought it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen.

I'm not an Adonis that's for damn sure. I've never really thought of myself that way and it doesn't matter to me. My favorite actors aren't Adonises. Dustin Hoffman is a flawed-looking man he's amazing to me. Tom Hanks is flawed-looking people love him. Same with Gene Hackman.

I realized the other day that I've lived in New York longer than I've lived anywhere else. It's amazing: I am a New Yorker. It's strange I never thought I would be.

Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind amazing things will happen.

Your thoughts and emotions are yours alone.

I never thought a basketball shoe would be named after a woman let alone me.

He never is alone that is accompanied with noble thoughts.

Americans different in some maybe thoughts or emphasis still have the same ideas. They want a government that lets them be free that leaves them alone that doesn't interrupt and interfere with every aspect of their life that lets them go to work and keep more of what they've worked hard to have.

It is eerie being all but alone in Westminster Abbey. Without the tourists there are only the dead many of them kings and queens. They speak powerfully and put my thoughts into vivid perspective.

I thought about how we need to make children feel that there are times in their lives when they need to be alone and quiet and to be able to accept their aloneness.

An American a Negro... two souls two thoughts two unreconciled strivings two warring ideals in one dark body whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.

The history of philosophy is not like the history of the sciences to be studied with the intellect alone. That which is receptive in us and that which impinges upon us from history is the reality of man's being unfolding itself in thought.

I once had a boyfriend who couldn't write unless he was wearing a necktie and a dress shirt which I thought was really weird because this was a long time ago and no one I knew ever wore dress shirts let alone neckties it was like he was a grown-up reenacter or something.
