Enthusiasm is not the same as just being excited. One gets excited about going on a roller coaster. One becomes enthusiastic about creating and building a roller coaster.
Theater is the most challenging thing to do. It's just you out there with no rope. You can't call time out; you're on a roller coaster.
War is just a racket... I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else.
I've had my run-ins with department stores, like Harrods, which stopped selling fur coats, but I found some there with fur trim, which is just as disgusting. Foie gras production is appalling - there's no excuse for selling it.
I just wanted to be an ordinary, middle-class person. When I was at Cambridge, I made great efforts to lose the last remnants of my Cockney accent.
The Crafty Cockney had a picture of the owner dressed up as a copper, so I brought it home, wore it on TV and the name just stuck.

A person improvising is sometimes very fortunate that just at that second things coincide.
A little bit of mercy makes the world less cold and more just.
As you go further from the sun, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus are each colder in their upper atmosphere. But when you get to Neptune, it's just as warm as Uranus.
I'm from the Detroit area, just north of Detroit. But then I went to boarding school in northern Michigan, so a little bit colder up there. But beautiful, very beautiful.
Coldplay doesn't have to stay within a certain genre; they just go where they go.
I just like collaborating.
On 'Vikings,' nobody's got an ego. Michael Hirst is just so open and so collaborative.
I have a lot of tattoos. I probably have over 100 tattoos. I don't know. It's just a mural... a collage.
