We don't deliberately set out to offend. Unless we feel it's justified.

I can't talk to a man who bears an undeserved animosity towards ferrets.

Death can really absorb a person. Lik most people, I would find it pleasant not to have to go, but you just accept that it's more or less inevitable.

I hope I will have achieved something lasting.

Dressing up as decrepit old ladies, and even decrepit young ladies, was one of our staples.

Stormy in love, stormy in interviews, breakfast in bed - that's me, love.

We don't deliberately set out to offend. Unless we feel it's justified.

There is no cannibalism in the British navy, absolutely none, and when I say none, I mean there is a certain amount.

Health care does not worry me a great deal. I've been impressed by some wonderful old people.

All ideas come about through some sort of observation. It sparks an attitude; some object or emotion causes a reaction in the other person.

You know, Python should have won a Grammy for our musical work on the show.

It's nice to see that look of alarm on the faces of the others.

World War II... did not happen to everyone, but it happened to most. There were people from Germany who were throwing bombs at us.

John Howard Davies was not a very human person... if you made a mistake of any kind, any sort of pause in speech, he would treat you rather as if he was a schoolmaster.

Always look on the bright side of life.

Nothing ruins the lines of a suit or blazer and makes you look more like a doofus than when your pockets are crammed with stuff - a wallet, a cell phone, keys, a calculator, a calendar, pens, etc.

If people give me a year or two of their best effort, then I am their friend for life.

When environment changes there must be a corresponding change in life.

Really, ambition has gone. I look for things that tickle my fancy. You begin to see the end of life on the horizon. You think, 'It's not going on forever, this.' Let's make the most of what time I have left.

Today 23 years ago dear Grandmama died. I wonder what she would have thought of a Labour Government.

Fantasy is more than an escape from the truths of the world and the past: it is an open acknowledgment that those truths are complex and morally difficult. It offers a different route to creating something which will resonate with readers, in a way which resists the erasure of privacy and autonomy which pervades our modern world.

I have been a figure skater for so long that when I stopped that competitive day-to-day grind, I didn't know what to do with myself. I don't know how the world works outside of being barked at by a Ukrainian woman and watching my weight.

I love my sleep.

When I go back to family reunions everybody goes, 'Hey cousin! Hey Auntie!' And I'm like, 'Okay I don't know you, I have no idea who you are.' I am auntie and cousin for so many and even the ones in prison call me collect. And I'll be like, 'Which of my family members are giving you this phone number?'

I suppose the White House thinks it's doing what Big Business wants, but it will lead to vastly increased taxes, because all these guest workers are to be allowed to bring their children.

For some Chicago expats, food is the medicine that blunts the pain of separation.

Stars, of course, are too hot to support life, so wherever life might exist in the universe, it has to be on planets or moons that are warmed, but not incinerated, by the stars they travel around.

There are many qualities that make a great leader. But having strong beliefs, being able to stick with them through popular and unpopular times, is the most important characteristic of a great leader.

How you react emotionally is a choice in any situation.

I don't believe in an afterlife. I don't believe in a single or multiple godhead. I respect people who do, but I don't believe it myself.

If a woman makes a unilateral decision to bring pregnancy to term, and the biological father does not, and cannot, share in this decision, he should not be liable for 21 years of support... autonomous women making independent decisions about their lives should not expect men to finance their choice.

I like to deal in the reality of life. I'm too old to sing about women and things like that.

Being a competitive dancer is an expensive business - you have to buy the £2,000 or so tail suit and the shoes, and then get yourself around the world to the competitions. And there is not a lot of money to be made in competing.

Moreover, behind this vague tendency to treat religion as a side issue in modern life, there exists a strong body of opinion that is actively hostile to Christianity and that regards the destruction of positive religion as absolutely necessary to the advance of modern culture.

Any serious social, political, and economic change must include veganism.
