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

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?'

Looking back we see with great clarity, and what once appeared as difficulties now reveal themselves as blessings.

And then of course the music sprang up, lousy rock as bold and dull as a giant potato. "Love this song," Todd said, like it was unusually brave to like what was number one on the radio.

I'd rather do theater and British films than move to L.A. in hopes of getting small roles in American films.

I dont love the phrase balancing work and family. It sets up this idea of scales of justice with work on one side and family on the other side.

Because we bring so little is no reason to bring nothing.

The only true corrective of Constitutional abuses is education.
