If I could have been a marine biologist I would have but I didn't have that kind of intelligence. Numbers were never my strong point.

I never think of myself as wise. I think of myself as possessing a critical intelligence which I intend to allow to operate.

Talent and intelligence never yet inoculated anyone against the caprice of the fates.

An intelligent person is never afraid or ashamed to find errors in his understanding of things.

Your intellect may be confused but your emotions will never lie to you.

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

A smart man makes a mistake learns from it and never makes that mistake again. But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid the mistake altogether.

I grew up in a bookless house - my parents didn't read poetry so if I hadn't had the chance to experience it at school I'd never have experienced it. But I loved English and I was very lucky in that I had inspirational English teachers Miss Scriven and Mr. Walker and they liked us to learn poems by heart which I found I loved doing.

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.

Man never made any material as resilient as the human spirit.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

For a gallant spirit there can never be defeat.

I never had the financial means that the media said I had. I laugh when I hear the amounts $400 million $800 million. Where do they get this imagination?

My best investment is my imagination because it has never failed to bring me my greatest returns!

A child who has never fantasized about having other parents is seriously lacking in imagination.

I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos I'm in fancy dress playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.

Obviously the facts are never just coming at you but are incorporated by an imagination that is formed by your previous experience. Memories of the past are not memories of facts but memories of your imaginings of the facts.

You never quite know what's going to strike your imagination or something that won't going to leave you alone not going to leave alone and this was one for me.

I've never really had a problem with the imagination level of an audience. They're always smarter and savvier than any studio exec will give them credit for.

I think I'm an actor because I have very strong imagination and empathy. I never studied acting but those two qualities are exactly the qualities that make for an activist.

But I'm never gonna get to a point in my life where what it costs to shoot a movie is going to determine what it is. The limits of my imagination is the only thing that's gonna stop me.

I've never taken any issue off the table for lack of suitability. Only for lack of imagination.

It's what still excites me most about acting: letting your imagination go places it's never been before. There's nothing better than that.

Never forget that the key to the situation lies in the will and not in the imagination.
