I would be a terrible director, I could never write anything. One of my great strengths is that I know all of my weaknesses.
The people that really were important, that mattered, had a great foundation. I had no training. I had to learn while doing, and it was really difficult.
There's something so great about being with your nephew and, when you're tired, just handing him off back to your sister.
I feel like I have just been really, really lucky to meet some of the most successful and great actors alive today.
There have been so many great moments, and I feel so blessed every day.
I think that what trips up a lot of great musicians is that they become involved with too many things that aren't where their strengths lie.

I always was very interested in intellect and the massive world of knowledge out there, but in terms of being a kid who wanted to be treated as an equal, school is not the place.
And people are intrigued if I really am as grumpy in real life. People feel a bit let down if I'm laughing or smiling.
It would be nice to be in one place for a while and have a social life again and get a job. But I'm not qualified to do anything. That's the problem.
I think I probably tend to make life hard for myself by taking on too many things. I call it plate spinning.
Life's not fair, is it? Some of us drink champagne in the fast lane, and some of us eat our sandwiches by the loose chippings on the A597.
