I acted at school but got very bad parts - things that they'd made up in Shakespeare plays like 'Guard 17' - so I wrote plays and gave myself parts, then I wrote sketches, then I did stand-up. Even in the school nativity I was the emu in the manger.
This big part flies off on the floor. The other part goes like this and lands in my foot! Standing up! It's standing in my foot! Right in the side of my foot. The flute glass. I think I'm like in one of my own pictures.
This wonderful gray of acceptance resides between the extremes of black and white thinking; looking for serenity, explore the gray. Part of that acceptance is understanding that life is hard and involves life and death. Part of that acceptance is tha...
Ah, Scotland. I am three-parts Scottish and terribly proud of it, although maybe we should divide it into eighths, because my two-eighths are Danish and English, the Lumley part. But the bulk of the rest of me is Scottish - and Scottish ministers esp...
I'm writing for my ideal reader, for somebody who's willing to take the time, who's willing to get lost in a new world, who's willing to do their part. But then I have to do my part and give them a sound and a voice that they believe in enough to kee...
If you go out eight times and play tennis eight times this week, yeah, it's the same rules, but it's a different game every time you're out on that court. You're working on a different part of your game every time you're out on that court; your partn...
Kay: It made me think of what you once told me: "In five years the Corleone family will be completely legitimate." That was seven years ago. Michael Corleone: I know. I'm trying, darling.
B.J. Harrison: [about the pope; before the opera] The Pope's doing exactly what you said he'd do, he's cleaning house. Michael Corleone: He should be careful. It's dangerous to be an honest man.
Vincent Mancini: I am your son. Command me in all things. Michael Corleone: Give up my daughter. That is the price you pay for the life you choose.
Kay Corleone: You know, Michael; now that you're so respectable, I think you're more dangerous than ever. I liked you better when you were just a common Mafia hood.
Don Altobello: [regarding Vincent] This is the hero who put Joey Zasa in his grave. If we'd known of his existence, we would never have backed Joey. Don Lucchesi: No one wants another Joe.
Bellatrix Lestrange: You stupid elf! You could have killed me! Dobby the House Elf: Dobby never meant to kill! Dobby only meant to maim, or seriously injure!
Harry Potter: [about Ron, after he returns] You're not still mad at him, are you? Hermione Granger: I'm always mad at him.
Ginny Weasley: Seems silly, doesn't it? A wedding. Given everything that's going on. Harry Potter: Maybe that's the best reason to have it. Because of everything that's going on.
Ron Weasley: [from trailer] [about Hermione] Ron Weasley: We wouldn't last two days without her. [pause] Ron Weasley: Don't tell her I said that.
Fred Weasley: How you feeling, Georgie? George Weasley: ...Saint-like. Fred Weasley: ...Come again? George Weasley: Saint-like. [points to ear] George Weasley: I'm holey.
Waitress: Can I take your order? Hermione Granger: I'll have a cappucino. Waitress: [turns to Ron] You? Ron Weasley: What she said. Harry Potter: Same.
Luna Lovegood: [after Dobby dies] We should close his eyes. Don't you think? [Harry nods, she does it] Luna Lovegood: There. Now he could be sleeping.
Hermione Granger: [Entering Godric's Hollow] I still think we should have used Polyjuice Potion. Harry Potter: No. This is where I was born. I'm not returning as someone else.
Ron Weasley: Hey! Hermione Granger: You... complete arse, Ronald Weasley! You show up here after weeks, and you say 'Hey'?
Scabior: [Hermione walks up] Hello beautiful. [Hermione stops, stares, then backs away] Scabior: Well, don't just hang in there. Snatch 'em!
