I never know which is worse: the sorrow when you hit the bird or the shame when you miss it.

Harsh reality is always better than false hope.

Success means your thoughts are worthy of everyones consideration.

We live a life that is often spent in crowds - parties, festivals and first nights - so it's nice to avoid them.

I always loved movies and the cinema; we always used to go to see films as a family.

My parents came from different backgrounds. My father's was grander than my mother's, so my mother had... to put up with the disapproval of my father's relations.

If you're in the movie or in television, your failures are very public, and so are your successes. You weigh them up against each other, really.
