I really love animals and enjoy working with them.

IT IS TIME THAT WE ALL SEE GENDER AS A SPECTRUM INSTEAD OF TWO SETS OF OPPOSING IDEALS.

There's nothing wrong with being afraid. It's not the absence of fear, it's overcoming it. Sometimes you've got to blast through and have faith.

Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong... It is time that we all perceive gender on a spectrum not as two opposing sets of ideals.

Gender equality, historically has been predominantly a women's movement for women. But I think the impact of gender inequality and how it's affecting men hasn't really been addressed.

My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder.

Hermione uses all these big long tongue twister words. I don't know what she's going on about half the time!

I have collections of quirky things from places I've been to, like a set of Russian dolls.

I don't have makeup on all the time, but when I want, I have fun with my friends choosing clothes and putting nail polish on.

I get up at 5.30am, sluice myself and have two Weetabix and some mint tea, before starting to write by 6am.

Every 30 seconds a patient dies from diseases that could be treated with tissue replacement.

I smoke pot when I work. I take a couple of tokes before I start. It just loosens you up.

What a frequency What a voice. I love Bilal. I couldn't imagine a music world without his voice.

The best way to listen to the album is to put it on, get some Moet, lay back with your boys, and kick it.

We are human less by virtue of our ideal goals than by the vice of our inferiority.

I think there's a playfulness and a distance to Kavalier and Clay that I don't aspire to in my stuff. Maybe I'm more old-fashioned, and less of a fabulist, in that way.

I can achieve that by personally relating the words that I am saying to something I have known in my life.

If the timing's right and the gods are with you, something special happens.

Painting is a medium in which the mind can actualize itself; it is a medium of thought. Thus painting, like music, tends to become its own content.
