Whatever you do, you do out of a passion.

I'm from a working-class background, and I've experienced that worry of not having a job next week because the unions are going on strike.

Money is a good thing and it's obviously useful, but to work only for money or fame would never interest me.

Everything is illusory. You cannot label something and feel that that is the beginning, middle, and end of it.

The worst thing someone gets is isolated. Isolation is the darkest part of any condition.

I mean, I'm 48 years old and I've been through a lot in my life - you know, loss, whether it be death, illness, separation. I mean, the failed expectations... We all have dreams.

I will go out of my way to avoid the shopping crowds and the extreme consumerism - I hate all that.
