I write a lot too, so I would like to write or direct in the future if I can.

It may be that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet,' but I should be loath to see a rose on a maiden's breast substituted by a flower, however beautiful and fragrant it might be, that is went by the name of the skunk lily.

Every problem is a gift–without problems we would not grow.

If guys practiced self-control, 'modesty' wouldn't be such a huge deal.

If I could give my teenaged self any advice, it would be 'Calm down!'

How wonderful it would be if the love of God was our priority and the love of neighbour flowed from that.

Art can go beyond certain boundaries or blindness that we would have without that.

Throughout his life, Ronald Reagan believed America is capable of great things and its people could and would lead the way if left unburdened by taxation and regulation.

If I could change on thing about myself, I would: Have better knees. Mine are shot because of injuries. You're only as good as your legs, whether you're an athlete or an actor.

Sometimes I write quickly, sometimes I spend several weeks on a single poem. I would really love for readers not to be able to guess which of the poems took so much work!

A woman would rather visit her own grave than the place where she has been young and beautiful after she is aged and ugly.

I could do my own nails... I went to beauty school in the 11th grade. But why would I do that now?

If critics have problems with my personal life, it's their problem. Anybody with half a brain would realize that it's the charts that count.

It would be a sad day if we British stopped being cynical, but you sometimes wonder whether we overdo it.

I suppose with houses and assets, then I guess I would be a millionaire. But so are a lot of people.

Never in my life did I think I would be congratulated by Mick Jagger for achieving anything.

I used to pre-rehearse everything and then bring my pre-rehearsed performance to the set. Now, I'm learning to let it happen in the moment. American actors are much better at that than British actors. If I knew how to trust myself, I would have been much more relaxed.

At my school, which was all boys, I played almost exclusively lady parts. When I say lady parts, I mean parts that were ladies. To actually play lady parts would be weird, even by English standards.

All I know is for a number of years, if someone like me called police for a burglary, a mugging, or something happened to me, chances are that a photographer or reporter would turn up before a policeman.

I don't hate L.A., but I'm nervous about becoming one of those people who has a ferocious interest in how films did at the box office that weekend and, you know, would want to meet for egg-white omelets in the morning.

I used to pre-rehearse everything and then bring my pre-rehearsed performance to the set. Now, I'm learning to let it happen in the moment. American actors are much better at that than British actors. If I knew how to trust myself, I would have been much more relaxed. Maybe I would have less gray hairs today.

My contemporary art collection began with just needing to put things on the wall. I was looking around my Victorian house thinking, 'What would be the coolest is contemporary art - it will make me look young and interesting.' I'm more than 80 percent skeptical of the whole thing.
