Although I'm largely doing other things in life, it's very nice occasionally to put my toe back in the waters of show business.

I'm such a chronic relativist, I can't hold down a strong opinion about many things long enough.

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.

Hugh Grant and I both laugh and cringe at the same things, worship the same books, eat the same food, hate central heating and sleep with the window open. I thought these things were vital, but being two peas in a pod ended up not being enough.

I'm not in my element standing around in a bikini in front of strangers. I never stand up in a bikini, even at the swimming pool. I feel like a normal person when it comes to things like that. I'm like any other girl who doesn't want to show her bottom.

Since it has pleased Providence to place me in this station, I shall do my utmost to fulfil my duty towards my country; I am very young and perhaps in many, though not in all things, inexperienced, but I am sure that very few have more real good will and more real desire to do what is fit and right than I have.

Life has a way of doing that; one minute everything makes sense, the next, things change. People get sick. Families break apart, your friends could close the door on you.

There's no point in making predictions. It's not worth speculating because nothing is set in stone and things change all the time in football. Today there are opportunities that no one knows if they will come round again in the future.

I’m not a perfectionist, but I like to feel that things are done well.

Dreams are not what you see in your sleep, dreams are things which do not let you sleep.

Comedy arises out of necessity, because some things are so dark that you have to laugh about it.

We are proud of 3 things: Democracy, Demographic dividen, and Demand.

I am a small man who wants to do big things for small people.

I draw pleasure in governance, in doing new things and bringing people together. That pleasure is all I need from life.

A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.

My whole problem is that all of my favorite things at Thanksgiving are the starches and everyone is trying to go low-carb this year even a green vegetable has carbs in it.

Being a father helps me be more responsible... you see more things than you've ever seen.

Besides the two Christmas things we've got a about a dozen new tracks we're working on.

I love all things Christmas.

If you pray enough for things I am proof that they can happen. I feel like a kid on Christmas day now every day. It's something I have wanted for a long time and I am as happy as anyone to be here. It is great to be back at my first love.

Christmas gives us the opportunity to pause and reflect on the important things around us - a time when we can look back on the year that has passed and prepare for the year ahead.

I suppose if you look back to your early childhood you accept everything people tell you and that includes a heavy dose of irrationality - you're told about tooth fairies and Father Christmas and things.

Letting go of things and not being afraid of being ridiculous or over the top - I think that's the main thing for me to work on.

If you love something - and there are things that I love - you do want more and more and more of it but that's not the way to produce good work.
