I think when I'm in love, I really am very good with calling, little faxes, and visiting and I really put a lot of effort into it. I'm really not the one that's not available because of work and I'm very sad when I actually leave.

But I am sure that I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round...as a good time a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut up hearts freely.

Charles Dickens

..Thirty's the end of being young, forty is where you stop fooling yourself.

Stephen King

Great is the victory that is gained without bloodshed.

Proverb

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Confucius

The most dangerous food to eat is a wedding cake.

Proverb

And Shanghai is amazing. I'm a fan of science fiction so when you're there in the night with all the lights and all this modernity, it's like a set in a movie.

Berenice Marlohe

The home seems to me to be the proper sphere for the man. And certainly once a man begins to neglect his domestic duties he becomes painfully effeminate, does he not?

Oscar Wilde

I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you, and that you will work them, water them with your blood and tears and you laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Singing songs like 'The Man I Love' or 'Porgy' is no more work than sitting down and eating Chinese roast duck, and I love roast duck.

Billie Holiday

No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness.

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

My films seem to be about men's struggle with failure.

Tom Hooper

This last year... I learned something about family. Like it's not about blood alone. It's being connected... it's growing up together and loving each other. It's believing in the same God and knowing you'd do anything for the person across from you at dinner.

Karen Kingsbury
