Perfection, in anything, is unbearably dull. Myself, I prefer a touch of imperfection.

My fictitious characters will take the bit between their teeth and gallop off and do something that I hadn't counted on. However, I always insist on dragging them back to the straight and narrow

I want to know what they look like, their height, and colouring, physique and speech pattens.

There are no ambitions noble enough to justify breaking someone's heart.

If you love people, they kill you. If you need people, they kill you. They do I tell you!

I hate being on my best behavior. It brings out the absolute worst in me.

The Labour Party of today has fits of horrors of the very thought of somebody like me might saying that they bought in white Australia. But I believe they did.

The lovely thing about being forty is that you can appreciate twenty-five-year-old men more.

What was sleep? A blessing, a respite from life, an echo of death, a demanding nuisance?

Belief doesn't rest on proof or existence...it rests on faith...without faith there is nothing.

That's the purpose of old age... To give us a breathing space before we die, in which to see why we did what we did.

God won´t make a way where there seems to be no faith.

Sam was waiting for her, his gaze sweeping over her. "Looks great." "I look like a geek, " Lucy said. "I smell like a brewery. And I need a bra.""My dream date.

He was part of us and when he died, all the actions stopped dead and there was no one to do them just the way he did.

For a leader to pick his own successor is a feudal practice.

I'm lucky. I've worked with extremely talented women who won't sacrifice comedy to make themselves look better.

I've never seen one Star Trek in my whole life.

All is fish that comth to net.

Too late is tomorrow's life; live for today.

Don't be impatient with me. Bear in mind that I hop around among all of you big beasts like a harmless and helpless frog who is afraid of being squashed.

I've killed my soul by playing the victim.
