For any new technology there is always controversy and there always some fear associated with it. I think that's just the price of being first sometimes.

Basically, my life is so boring, it's embarrassing.

You know everyone loves to be the villain.

My grandmother was utterly convinced I'd wind up as the Archbishop of Canterbury. And, to be honest, I've never entirely ruled it out.

I just don't believe in love at first sight any more, even though I've based my whole career on the concept.

I'm a laugh tart. I make no secret of that fact.

Now [after doing Pilates], I have muscles of steel and could easily deal with giving birth.

I cling to the fantasy that I could have done something more creative. Like actually writing a script, or writing a book. But the awful truth is that I... probably can't!

The only reason my work seems to be eclectic up to a certain period is because I was a failure as an actor.

There is space in the supermarket shelf for all of us.

Trust what is not known to your Mind. Trust what is known to your Heart.

I don't want to be famous. I like to be able to sit in a cafe and watch the world go by and observe people.

Go, wiser thou! and in thy scale of sense weigh thy opinion against Providence.

When you go out skating with your friends, you need one friend who knows how to take a good picture. Without the picture, there is no proof that you pulled the trick.

I think we don't do a service to dialogue between science and faith to characterize sincere people by calling them names. That inspires an even more dug-in position.
