I've made this conscious decision to tell people on the street when I think they're wearing something great. If more people did that, the world would be a better place.

I've always been quite thrifty. I can't bear to spend hundreds of pounds on designer clothes. I shop in second-hand shops in Portobello Road and go to Sue Ryder.

As a child, I always chose a false nose and some face paint and a wig for my birthday.

I take my hat off to mums who have lots of kids. Anyone that says being a mum isn't a full-time job has obviously never had any.

I just wanted to be an actress. It never occurred to me that I could become famous, because I'm not one of those people who's automatically going to be the lead. I always saw myself as the mate.

Emily wondered whether Artie would be so carefree if he knew The Book Club was performing grand theft imagination.

Even pretty faces are mutilated by ugly character

To talk to his children about God, a person needs to first talk to God with the impossible.

The things you really need are few and easy to come by; but the things you can imagine you need are infinite, and you will never be satisfied.

None. I think we should send a country some cupcakes. You think some cupcakes would cheer up North Korea? Kill 'em with deliciousness.

The myth of black women profiting at the expense of black men is the oldest rap around.

Seemed to me that drumming was the best way to get close to God.

We will form an army of poor, where every poor will be a soldier and we will win the war against poverty on behalf of their strength.

When sculpting the human figure in stone it is necessary to draw the whole form out of the content of the head.
