There are a lot of people out there who lie about their age and I think it does us all a disservice. It can't all be over when you hit 30. That would be rubbish.

Some people are really good at packaging themselves, but that's not really me.

Yeah, I'm not really a morning person.

I'm a sucker for sad disco pop.

A lot of what inspired many musicians is celebrating differences, and people relate to that - more people feel like the unpopular, freaky one than the one in the in-crowd.

I like the influence of the macabre, but I don't believe in ghosts.

Some people can get away with being very sexy to men and not looking like a complete cow, but I didn't think I was in a position where people knew me well enough

I used to be hung up on my figure, but it's a waste of time. I don't believe in diets. Have four pints one night, be healthy the next.

Trust your instincts: they tend to see you right. By listening to them, at least you can sleep at night.

Not all my shoes are designer. In terms of clothes, everything is on the same level for me. If I like it, it doesn't matter if it cost £200 or £2. I'm attracted to things rather than labels.

When I first started out, I got criticism for the way I looked. I think, now, it's a good thing because, why would you want to look like everyone else?

That kind of forgiveness is of God. And if they have it, they have it, and if they don't, well, maybe they'll find it someday.

Truly it is a blessed thing to love on earth as we hope to love in Heaven, and to begin that friendship here which is to endure for ever there.

Some people lose all respect for the lion unless he devours them instantly. There is no pleasing some people.

There's something very cool about that indie spirit that I try to hang on to even now with the bigger films that I'm working on.

We want the digital world to bend to your physical life, your real emotional life as a person, and we don't want you to bend to computers.

I think the Republicans have really thoughtful financial policies, and I'm more in the middle on taxation.

Let me say it diplomatically: Most religions are tribal to some degree.

I’ll see you in your dreams, okay, stupid?

As for jokes, I don't think it's necessarily that what I write is funny.

I love when things are transparent, free and clear of all inhibition and judgement.
