I love a film where I get squished by two dumpsters or I fly through the air.

My mum always told me I was precious, while my dad always told me I was worthless. I think that's a good grounding for a balanced life.

Actually I like working kind of fast, because if you got it, why bother doing it over and over?

Pantomime is a big thing in the cultural calendar of my country, you know. So subtlety's not my forte.

It's really rare for film directors to be that interested in things other than themselves.

Be who you like as long as you mean it.

I like working on things that are very different and that involve different disguises.

Finally, the scariest thing about abuse of any shape or form, is, in my opinion, not the abuse itself, but that if it continues it can begin to feel commonplace and eventually acceptable.

I think people deny themselves by putting themselves into categories.

I had to be a grown-up when I should have been a little boy, and now that I'm a grown-up my little-boyness has exploded out of me. I've lived my life backwards.

It's actually quite a good ethos for life: go into the unknown with truth, commitment, and openness and mostly you'll be okay.

And sometimes, when you fall, you fly.

If the business of physics is ever finished, the world will be a much less interesting place in which to live . . .

Mighty waves of oceans live in my soul to encourage me to survive.

Be careful with your faith !It could make you see the good side of hell on earth.

Life's greatest comfort is being able to look over your shoulder and see people worse off, waiting in line behind you.

Things looked funny because my pictures depend on an emotional state... I know this is true and I thought about this for a long time. Somehow it made me feel very, very good.

I am MacWonder one moment and MacBlunder the next.

And I am not one of those women who trips twice over the same stone.

I've never been a sunny personality. I've never been outgoing. I'm a solitary person.

The linesman flagged initially because he thought I was an Oldham player. Fair enough, I did have a replica shirt on - but I also have a big furry head.
