I think I'm a natural-born leader. I know how to bow down to authority if it's authority that I respect.
I recently turned down a film that I didn't want my kids to see. Priorities shift. Sometimes I'm sad about that, but not enough to do anything about it.
I wrote the song For A Dancer for a friend of mine who died in a fire. He was in the sauna in a house that burned down, so he had no idea anything was going on. It was very sad.
There's something about the ukulele that just makes you smile. It makes you let your guard down. It brings out the child in all of us.
If you are going to throw a club, it is important to throw it ahead of you, down the fairway, so you don't have to waste energy going back to pick it up.
Everyone loves a slice of period-drama-pie, but I think the success of 'Upstairs Downstairs' is really down to the wonderful format that Jean Marsh and Eileen Atkins created.
Every movie that I've had to really knock down the door for has been an enormous success for me. Not just like a financial success but a real personal success.

Then the album created a tremendous furor and got me kicked off Christian television for two months, and then restored after they settled down and listened to the music and realized there was nothing wrong with it.
We were playing popular music, but we were doing our own arrangements because we were too lazy to sit down and figure out the originals.
I sit down at my desk pretty early in the morning and write all day until about 4 or 5 p.m.

Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps, down new roads, armed with nothing but their own vision.
Often, the disparities in the ways men and women are treated are subtle; there are not these clear barriers that you have to break down.
I never used to see anything on TV where the man was in the weaker position. It was always the female showing emotion, breaking down, being emotionally torn apart by men.
West Hollywood blew my mind: gay men walking down the street, kissing and holding hands. I'd never imagined there was a place like that.
When I plan to settle down, I will announce it to the world. Marriage is an occasion to celebrate. I'll celebrate it when it happens, letting everyone know about it.
