Zitat des Tages von Robert Rinder:
I really want to emphasise this - 'Strictly' is a positive show. It's interesting that it gets cast into this, understandably, the ordinary net of reality shows, but there's no part of it which feels nihilistic or unpleasant. It's all about learning something and doing well, and you feel this overwhelming sense of people wanting you to do well.
Most people assume that when you go to court and win your case that you are guaranteed to get your money. Sadly, this isn't always the case.
It is difficult to ever think about your loved one having suffered.
If a deal advertised on an unknown website looks too good to be true, it almost certainly is.
It is splendid to be supportive when you see those around you doing well, but blind praise is easier than harsh facts.
An actor with a genuine gift has the power to transport you from whatever your own pains may be into an entirely different world, freeing you from whatever you may be going through. At its best, it can be better than any medication.
As a lawyer, I've dealt with really serious offences, and the public rarely hear what the true impact is on the victims' families. When you hear it from the mouths of victims, your entire approach changes, because it could happen to anybody, and they articulate that in such a powerful way.
I'm not pretending when I'm in that court room.
There's a lot of judges on TV in America. Apart from Judge Judy, the vast majority of them are terrible.
From time to time, I definitely look witheringly, which is why I'm well known.
My musical taste is somewhat dated - I mean, freeze frame, go back 60 years, and you're in my comfort zone.
I wish I had a filter; then, I'd suspect, who knows? I'd perhaps have more friends.
It's always nice to have new clothes made for you.
Ultimately, whenever you have a new opportunity, do it with gusto and fun and be wholly indifferent to what other people think.
I think with 'Strictly,' people don't want you to do badly. They're willing you to do well.
There's certainly more chance of me winning 'Strictly' than having an affair with my dance partner, but you know, who knows?
Learning about crime in great detail forces us to ask ourselves how it happened, how the victims and perpetrators got to that point, how the law works, how the police force functions.
If an employer decides to flout the law, it may be guilty of criminal offences and subject to serious financial liability.
I know a bit about taxation and the remarkable effort that goes in to avoiding it.
When somebody teaches you to love something, you never forget that! It's such a generous thing to do.
If you are concerned you are the victim of illegal corporate surveillance, you should seek specialist - and independent - legal advice at once.
Going to salsa clubs may be popular, but I feel we're really missing something as a society by overlooking ballroom dancing. If only we could persuade schools to teach it or there was somewhere young people could go on a Saturday night to learn it.
I realise I'm known for doing big, very serious cases, but fundamentally, any lawyer will tell you that even the most complex trials come down to the same questions. Are people telling porky pies? Are bank accounts dodgy? Is someone trying to get one over on you? It's my job to listen and then decide.
Is it exploitative to get the victim of an unimaginably horrific crime to talk on my show 'Crime Stories?' No, it's crucial.
I celebrate Christmas with wilful glee.
Serious crime is very, very rare, and I think all of us are interested because they are rare and unusual. If they were banal and everyday, we wouldn't be interested in them at all.
When I first heard Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way,' I looked out the window for the car alarm going off.
Even my trolls have started taking the trouble to spell their Tweets correctly, which is thoughtful.
I don't want to be a total moron and be just known as the jazz-handed judge.
There are plenty of organisations making a real difference to the lives of gay people around the country that do need our help, so why undermine the wonder of 'Strictly' by politicising it?
Before starting a building project, it is wise to discuss your plans in full with the neighbours.
I was an appalling person to teach. At 14, I was pretty advanced. I would read all the books in a few minutes, and I was bored. It must have been awful for a teacher to have a bright boy who's giving them his undivided indifference.
In theory, I absolutely love to work from home, in all its warmth and comfort, but have reluctantly been forced to confess that it's a total failure.
Never trust people; always trust paper. I'd marry a piece of paper if I could.
My father is a taxi driver, and my mother ran a small business. I hadn't even met a barrister before I got my first shot at the legal profession. But back then, I was lucky enough to be given a break - I can't help but wonder if I would be so lucky today.
Would it be a big step forward for the LGBTQI community if there were same-sex couples on 'Strictly?' Do me a favour. Some things ain't politics, and 'Strictly' is one of them.
