I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.

If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.

The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

The media wants overnight successes (so they have someone to tear down). Ignore them. Ignore the early adopter critics that never have enough to play with. Ignore your investors that want proven tactics and predictable instant results. Listen instead to your real customers, to your vision and make something for the long haul. Because that’s how long it’s going to take, guys.

When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.

You know, I hate to give advice because my life has been so odd that almost nothing that's happened to me can apply.

When one sings, one does not speak about the problems of the every day. One speaks about the things which inspire us, which helped us.

I feel that the year ahead for me will be full of two of my favorite things: dance and acting.

I think the hardest thing about my life is that I've met so many people all over the world who I love, but they're not friends with each other.

I just want to be challenged. I want to be proud of what I do, and I want to learn new things and keep growing.

Who cares about great marks left behind? We have one life... just one. Our life. We have nothing else.

You are the master of your environment. You've got your own head, your own mind. So once you figure out what you want for yourself, you have to create the proper environment to make sure you can live out all the things you want.

Listening is more important than anything else because that's what music is. Somebody is playing something and you're receiving it. It is sending and receiving.

Anything that I do, I try to make it as good as I possibly can.

I think I am very proud of being associated with quality things. So if I were massively famous for doing massively beloved things, yeah, that sounds great.

The acting is something that will always be a part of my life, but the writing gives me a lot more creative freedom. You're a pawn in somebody else's chess game, whereas as a writer and as a director, you get to call the shots. And that's very thrilling.

I no longer worry whether a painting is about something or not. I am only concerned with the expectation, from a flat surface, of an illusion.

I spent years working in low-budget horror films. When you've done 'Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death,' you can handle anything!

I have been offered a lot for my work, but never everything.

Life is generally something that happens elsewhere.

I'm quite a curious person. I don't mind being the one who doesn't know things, a role I often play in QI.

When the sun is shining I can do anything; no mountain is too high, no trouble too difficult to overcome.
