I have the most lovely, healthy bouncing baby, she was all very compact and the right size.

For me personally, everything is on a kiss.

It's really important to draw the line on what we do as actors.

I've always chosen incredibly different roles and things that are quite offbeat. That way you're not limited.

You can see when an actor gets bored: Their eyes go dead. I promised myself I'd never let that happen. If it does, I'll go and live on a desert island for a year.

These women need to feel that we're all aware of what they may be going through, to give them the confidence to speak out.

It's so important to raise awareness of this problem that continues to affect 1 in 4 women at some point in their lifetime, regardless of career, wealth or background.

When I was younger I thought I'd meet the man of my dreams, get married and have a child, but it all went higgledy-piggledy. Never say never, though.

And the most important thing - apart from telling a good, believable story, and being a true character - is to be someone the audience will care about, even if you're playing a murderer or rapist.

I've been onstage once for one performance with four days' rehearsal.

Success doesn't come to you you go to it.

God will generously give you wisdom, if thy will ask.

It's not like the Middle Ages, when you had the Church and the aristocracy keeping everything nice and stagnant.

Life is like a fire. Flames which the passer-by forgets. Ashes which the wind scatters. A man lived.

I would rather die on my feet than continue living on my knees.

I've never been one to have to manipulate women. I always want it to be like a mutual thing, like everybody loves everybody.

The greatest barrier to consciousness is the belief that one is already conscious.

I am comfortable at the height where destiny has put me.

Excellence calls for character . . . integrity . . . fairness . . . honesty . . . a determination to do what's right. High ethical standards, across the board.

Human beings do not perceive things whole; we are not gods but wounded creatures, cracked lenses, capably only of fractured perceptions. Partial beings, in all the senses of that phrase.
