I felt very honored, and I knew that people would be watching very closely, and I felt it was very, very important that I do a good job.
A lot of people don't believe there's evil. If there's good in this world, then you're being intellectually dishonest, if you believe there's a good power, you've also got to believe there's an evil power, too. There are physical laws that are in pla...

There's something about 'Strictly Come Dancing.' Everywhere I go, people wish me good luck; cabbies toot their horns. It's lovely. I have a theory: in straitened times, there's nothing like a bit of unapologetic escapism.
Melvin Udall: I'm dying here. Simon Bishop: Because you love her. Melvin Udall: No! And you people are supposed to be sensitive and sharp?
