I absolutely don't care about my looks and I'm so used to them that I wouldn't change a thing. I would end up missing my defects.

Because I am an Englishman I spent most of my life in a state of embarrassment.

I'm fully aware that if I were to change professions tomorrow, become an astronaut and be the first man to land on Mars, the headlines in the newspapers would read: 'Mr. Darcy Lands on Mars.

I would rather five people knew my work and thought it was good work than five million knew me and were indifferent.

My singing voice is somewhere between a drunken apology and a plumbing problem.

My grandmother was a minister as well, which was not that common in the 1930s.

The stones themselves are thick with history, and those cats that dash through the alleyways must surely be the ghosts of the famous dead in feline disguise.

We all want to do the right thing for our children. We all don't know what that is and we all - you know, you won't know until the future.

When you have to apologize, it is well, I suppose, to get the thing over quickly.

Lavish love on others receive it gratefully when it come to you. Cultivate friendship like a garden. It is the best love of all.

Being beautiful is not so fun when you're in a business with all men.

Every man has a vocation. The talent is the call.

You know, tigers are very unpredictable.

Excellence without effort is as futile as progress without preparation.
