I do walk with a bit of a swagger. I do swear a lot. And people are going to be offended by that. But in this PC world, you can't be honest.

I don't know what's happened to me. I've got a bit more sophisticated in my old age. I like a bit of jasmine tea. I love it.

I don't think you can get any more working class than me. Everyone seems posh to me.

I had a good upbringing, we didn't have any money, but there was a lot of love in my family.

There are a lot of bitter people out there who have got jobs that they hate and the key to life for me is doing something you love doing.

You can never plan anything, you're never guaranteed anything. As long as I'm getting the work and it's quality then I'm happy. But you never know.

There is never a right or wrong time to have kids; it happens for whatever reason, but you can have this paranoia: 'will I be able to do this, I'm not sure if I'm ready to have kids?'

90% of people are in jobs they hate and are bitter about their lives and scratching about for money. That's my worst nightmare.

A normal fight is thirty seconds of rolling around on the floor, scrapping, that's what it is. It's not rolling over boxes or getting punched through windows.

You never know where you stand - and I like that. I like to be on edge.

I don't believe my own hype, I just take each day as it comes. And I always feel blessed.

No matter how smart we may think we are, no matter how committed we are to our truth, we can lose our way.

I’m not holding myself out as a model, but I do believe that we in America can ask more of children than we typically do, and they will not only respond to the challenge, but thrive.

How I hate the sight of an umbrella!

Our deal always was that we did one as scripted always, we got it like we thought we needed - so we were all happy with it as written. Then I'd let him play as long as we had time.

You know, probably the notion that conservatives, Republicans, only care about the rich and that Democrats care about the poor - is that true? And nothing could be further from the truth.

The world cracks open for those willing to take a risk.

Those who succeed can't forgive a fellow for being a failure, and those who fail can't forgive him for being a success.

I don't write with any audience in mind. I just write. I take a chance on the audience. That's what I did originally, and I think it's worked--in the sense that I find there is an audience.

I dream in colour, and its always very surreal. My dream world is complete Hieronymus Bosch and Dali. I love it, I look forward to it every night

My mother and my father went to the cinema for the first time when I made my first movie in 1978.
