I always swore I would never write a book. But I read Clare Balding's and it was really interesting and so prettily written and lovely and not too revealing. I went to her book launch and met her editor who said 'why don't you think about it? You can do it however you want, based on your characters or you.'
Even though I have Twitter, I only use it to say, 'Oh, this is coming out.' I would never voice anything about me, really.

You never really forget who you are. If you did, you'd need to seek some professional help.
If you think about photo sharing sites, the mobile photo sharing and social, there's no competitive advantage, there's no obvious business model, so I never play with anything like that. I avoid it like the plague.
Music feels like a six sense to me, and it's never been just a hobby. It's something that I have to do to breathe. It's an extension of who I am.
The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase: if you pursue happiness you'll never find it.
Believe in yourself, take on your challenges, dig deep within yourself to conquer fears. Never let anyone bring you down. You got to keep going.
There was a great strain in our family because my father didn't want anything to do with me. He was happy to see my brother and sister, but not me. I don't know why. Maybe it was shame. I don't know. But he never wanted anything to do with me. That rejection was terribly hurtful and it went on for years.
To save an animal's life in order that it may suffer indefinitely is something I would never condone.

We have been given the trust and goodwill of New Zealanders. I do not take that trust for granted, and I never will.

Did you know that today will never be tomorrow.
If we insist on being as sure as is conceivable... we must be content to creep along the ground, and never soar.

The Japanese covet important symbols - their heroic past as enshrined in Yasukuni, the Imperial family which has never been sullied by scandal.

The first thing I ask when I'm offered a part is, Who's the director? which is something they never understand in Los Angeles.
Intelligence must follow faith, never precede it, and never destroy it.
I never did say that you can't be a nice guy and win. I said that if I was playing third base and my mother rounded third with the winning run, I'd trip her up.
