I had better never see a book than to be warped by its attraction clean out of my own orbit, and made a satellite instead of a system. The one thing in the world, of value, is the active soul.

When I drink, I think; and when I think, I drink.

Francois Rabelais

It's amazing how I can just ramble on for hours, isn't it? And so unentertaining or uninteresting. But I can ramble on for hours. It's a sort of terrible gift, isn't it?

Graham Norton

Performers are so vulnerable. They're frightened of humiliation, sure their work will be crap. I try to make an environment where it's warm, where it's OK to fail - a kind of home, I suppose.

Jane Campion

Every savage can dance.

Jane Austen

When one has no character, one HAS to apply a method. Here it did wonders incontrovertibly, and I am living on the site of one of the greatest crimes in human history.

Albert Camus

I took my courage in both hands and went to the Laundromat to do my washing. I had to use three machines.

Julie Doucet

You never know really what anyone thinks about you - that's why all my closest friends are ones I've had since my schooling days when I was 5. And I surround myself with people who I trust and who know me.

Dominic Cooper

You'd like more people to recognise what you do is special. But I take the attitude that the best thing I can do for my sport is to be the best at it. The best way people will come to recognise that track and field is a great sport is to see athletes excelling at it. Which is what I intend to do.

Maurice Greene

I don't believe in fad diets.

Jenny Craig

One sometimes finds what one is not looking for

Alexander Fleming

A man must be both stupid and uncharitable who believes there is no virtue or truth but on his own side.

Joseph Addison

If the world despises you because you do not follow its ways, pay no heed to it. But be sure your way is right.
