I never think of myself as any kind of sex symbol, but I get letters from all over, all sorts. It's really cool. I get a lot from inmates, which is kind of scary. But the best was the guy who wanted to send me a plane ticket to fly me to his prom.

I wanted to be a doctor in sports medicine I was into sailing and all that sort of thing.

Malcolm Muggeridge, The Most of

Bad artists always admire each other's work. They call it being large-minded and free from prejudice. But a truly great artist cannot conceive of life being shown, or beauty fashioned, under any conditions other than those he has selected.

Oscar Wilde

Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.

Anon.

Most of us would never consider getting our car repaired without first receiving an estimate of the charges, but this is exactly what we do when we need to go to a hospital for treatment.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build A bridge even where there is no river.
