Even now that I only have one eye, maybe I see more things than before. My life was completely against the clock, a fight against the stopwatch.
In all honesty, I'm not able to talk about contracts. It's nothing with 'American Idol' in particular, it's just things I really need to take care of in my life.
The world knows already, they just don't have a picture up there or I'll spend the rest of my life in exile. It's hard to do that when you don't have any money.
If I could do anything in my life and be remembered for anything, I would like to be remembered for helping the world see the value of physical engagement with ideas.
I had never been near insane persons before in my life, and had not the faintest idea of what their actions were like.
When I'm singing or on stage, I become complete all of a sudden. I'm whole. I don't think I've really had that in so many other things in my life.
The only reason why I tend to pass on a movie is either I don't think I'm right for the material and can't play it honestly, or because of time constraints with personal things in my life.
Ideas for stories come to me based on my life, so who knows? If somebody sends me to become an astronaut, that's what I'll end up writing.
I am someone who worries a lot. I'm always worrying 'what if?' Now I'm a mum - there will be worries for the rest of my life, but they're not about me anymore.
During the week that I arrived in the United States, I saw an airport, used a telephone, used a library, talked with a scientist, and was shown a computer for the first time in my life.
Everybody knows my life. I won a lot of tournaments and scored more than 1,000 goals, won three World Cups but I could not play in Olympic Games.
I love playing and working on music. It is something that I feel really lucky to be able to spend my life doing. And I don't sleep much!
At the end of the Beatles, I really was done in for the first time in my life. Until then, I really was a kind of cocky sod.
I was born in Northern Ireland in 1951. I lived most of my life there until 1986 or 1987.
About my books, that's all that I think the public has, in its normal way, to know. My private life is, by definition, private.
I really never stopped thinking about Ellen, because I just haven't felt that kind of energy with anyone in my life.
I think these are very improper questions for any American to be asked, especially under such compulsion as this. I would be very glad to tell you my life if you want to hear of it.
People tell me they idolise me, want to be like me, but I tell them, 'trust me, you don't want my life.' I've been a very tortured soul.
I don't really think about dance except just before rehearsals start. I put it off. I don't live my life thinking about dance.
I've dedicated my life to public service, and I feel it's still a noble profession. However, I also understand it's a contact sport.
I have known Farley Mowat all of my life, from reading his books as a child to becoming a close friend of his over the last three decades.
