I don't deny that there are problems in the intelligence world but I would argue that in the UK we try to uphold the highest standards in the world.

The Clinton White House today said they would start to give national security and intelligence briefings to George Bush. I don't know how well this is working out. Today after the first one Bush said 'I've got one question: What color is the red phone?'

I would like to take you seriously but to do so would affront your intelligence.

An intelligence test sometimes shows a man how smart he would have been not to have taken it.

If men can develop weapons that are so terrifying as to make the thought of global war include almost a sentence for suicide you would think that man's intelligence and his comprehension... would include also his ability to find a peaceful solution.

I would like to take you seriously but to do so would be an affront to your intelligence.

If you would take you must first give this is the beginning of intelligence.

In fact I wouldn't really call this a Gospel album I call it more an inspirational album.

Had I not come out with an inspirational CD you perhaps would have never known that I feel like I feel that all songs all the music I've ever done is a gift from God.

If it were not for hopes the heart would break.

Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces I would still plant my apple tree.

I'd love to play more challenging roles characters that would stretch my comfort zone and imagination.

When we had to do book reports I would pick a book that no one read and just make it up and turn that in. I got praised for my imagination.

I certainly know there are people in positions of power in the business who lack imagination and perhaps as a result of that think of me as 'David'. But I wouldn't really want to work with those people you know?

My mother was making $135 a week but she had resilience and imagination. She might take frozen vegetables cook them with garlic onion and Spam and it would taste like a four-star dinner.

There's not one major greatest influence on my career. It would be film and great artists and great imagineers - Jim Henson Walt Disney Charlie Chaplin people who understand the joy of the imagination.

As an actor I think sometimes producers need a little bit of encouragement to see you in a particular role they may not have as much imagination as you would expect.

Most people have no imagination. If they could imagine the sufferings of others they would not make them suffer so. What separated a German mother from a French mother?

I had been a reporter for 15 years when I set out to write my first novel. I knew how to research an article or profile a subject - skills that I assumed would be useless when it came to fiction. It was from my imagination that the characters in my story would emerge.

Dreaming is an act of pure imagination attesting in all men a creative power which if it were available in waking would make every man a Dante or Shakespeare.

I surrendered to a world of my imagination reenacting all those wonderful tales my father would read aloud to me. I became a very active reader especially history and Shakespeare.

I never in my wildest imagination dreamed that I would somehow become a sports commentator.

I would find myself laughing and wondering where these ideas came from. You can call it imagination I suppose. But I was grateful for wherever they came from.

I wouldn't say that I've had a tough life by any stretch of the imagination.
