Some people in my family achieved a lot, some people inherited a lot. But I turned my back on the whole thing.

I do try and curb my mouth, but I find it really hard. I wonder how many jobs I've talked myself out of!

I went for endless auditions for tiny parts in obscure plays, and never got one job until I was in 'Four Weddings'.

I'm crazy about ducks and swans and geese, so I don't eat foie gras. I try to eat organic.

In the theatre, if you say 'Macbeth', all the actors will start looking very anxious. I'm so well-trained not to say it in the theatre that I can hardly say it in normal life.

I can cook to please people, but it's quite conventional. I make a good sponge cake. I find it hard to follow recipes.

I was never, ever the ingenue. The young, innocent lead was just not me.

I love buying things. I could be one of those crazy hoarders.

I did become quite well known from 'Four Weddings and a Funeral', and it helped hugely. I wasn't as famous as Hugh Grant, but I certainly began to work.

I was one of those lucky people with only one talent. It is harder for people with many talents to decide what to do.

Men are often mislead by their fellow-men.

Beware of will power. It damages your giving-up skills.

Christian, beware of thinking lightly of sin. Take heed in case you fall little by little.

The people who must never have power are the humorless. To impossible certainties of rectitude they ally tedium and uniformity

If we are going to bring about change, then men, for goodness sake, stand up and stand for the right. And I say, ‘power to the women.

If you have sacrificed my nation to preserve the peace of the world, I will be the first to applaud you. But if not, gentlemen, God help your souls.

Man, Farmville is so huge! Do you realize its the second-biggest browser-based social-networking-centered farming game in the world?

Labels are for the things men make, not for men. The most primitive man is too complex to be labeled.

Nothing can be truly great which is not right.

We allow no geniuses around our Studio.
