When you asked me how I was doing, was that some kind of joke

Sometimes you just have to bite your upper lip and put sunglasses on.

What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.

If you want to keep your memories, you first have to live them.

All I can do is be me, whoever that is.

People have a hard time accepting anything that overwhelms them.

Your heart is like the ocean, mysterious and dark.

People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent.

Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.

You need something to open up a new door, to show you something you seen before but overlooked a hundred times or more

How many times can a man turn his head, and pretend that he just doesn't see?

I don't care for the colour of your skin, I care for the size of your heart behind it.

Whatever failures I have known, whatever errors I have committed, whatever follies I have witnessed in private and public life have been the consequence of action without thought.

Don't dance for the audience; dance for yourself.

I hate it when you go somewhere and 9 million people are staring at you.

There is only one thing I hope to see before I die, and that is that my people should not need expressions of sympathy anymore.

Acting is something I've done since I was six years old, performing for my mum and my family in the living room, and I do it because my heart's in it.

Dennis Thatcher, husband of Margaret Thatcher, when asked who wore the pants in his house, said "I do, and I also wash and iron them." I only like two kinds of men; domestic and foreign.

I love people who are complicated, and I love playing people who are complicated.

You know, the songs that are self-conscious or jerky, they are that way, but the other ones aren't, so that's a good thing. Some of the songs are Beck-jokey, but the others, they have heart in them.

Poets are damned but they are not blind, they see with the eyes of angels.
