I am always baffled by age, but to be honest with you, I feel like I am about 34. I feel better now and I am certainly healthier than I was in my early 30s. I am more rounded too.

Cuba is such a beautiful country, and everywhere you go, there's music and people dancing - especially in Havana.

I do believe in an afterlife. I try to be at one with people and try to love life as much as I can.

I just love doing costume dramas; I am very lucky, as I see myself as a part-time time traveller.

Isn't it amazing that there are laws of the universe that you can actually find out about, live your life according to and change the world for the better?

Even if you don't have anything, even if you've got a quarter in your pocket, to share with someone else who has nothing really helps.

I think there is a degree of speculation that is satisfied the climate is changing.

Seize the very first possible opportunity to act on every resolution you make, and on every emotional prompting you may experience in the direction of the habits you aspire to gain.

Smile doesn't mean that someone is happy. Sometimes it just means that you're strong.
