I did the whole rock and roll thing that's coming up. I think you're going to enjoy that! 'Burt Rocks', it's called. I like that he's a dreamer I like how positive he is. There's a lot of things I think I can learn from Burt.

But who can paint like Nature? Can imagination boast, amid its gay creation, hues like hers?

James Thomson

Sweet are the words of Love, sweeter his thoughts: Sweetest of all what Love nor says nor thinks.

Charles Baudelaire

Water is the driving force of all nature.

Leonardo da Vinci

Billy is a funny, cheeky, lovely boy and I love being with him. Parenthood is terrifying though. I can barely walk past a building without panicking that it's going to collapse on his head.

Rufus Sewell

Murray Gell-Mann

I think academics are infuriating. For every expert on Shakespeare there is another one to cancel his theory out. It drives you up the wall. I think the greatest form of finding out the truth is through fantasy.

Joseph Fiennes

I had a fear that I'd be typecast, but I don't really have that fear anymore.

David Duchovny

Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, 'It will be happier.'

Alfred Lord Tennyson

I have my work and my faith... If that's boring to some people, I can't tell you how much I don't care.

Madonna Ciccone

I have the strength to endure it all.
