I can totally understand why someone would be like, 'All you do is make videos in your room and show people what you do in your life. How is that entertaining?' I can totally understand what they mean...

It's not a terribly original thing to say, but I love Raymond Carver. For one thing, he's fun to read out loud.

I come from a big family, so I'd like to have a big family.

When I was at drama school, people weren't taking pictures of themselves every five minutes. So I didn't realize how I looked. It was only when people started taking pictures of themselves that I...

I'm very blessed genetically, you know.

I love my family, and there's so many things in life I enjoy, but when I'm in the car there's nothing else that means anything.

As a 29-year-old, the only thing that I can possibly think is that if I'm still performing at 50, it's because I'll have had disastrous marriages and I have to pay for them.

I had studied Irish history. I had read speeches from the dock. I had tried to fuse the vivid past of my nation with the lost spaces of my childhood. I had learned the battles, the ballads, the...

When I said I wanted to walk away from football, people think I was just talking about the two or three incidents that have happened on the pitch.

I love wine tasting in Napa. I don't have a huge collection, but the bottles I do have are special.

I see my albums as working diaries, as living scrapbooks of me and my life.

The piano is the instrument I can play the most.

It seems like I've always been singing, at least since I was 5.

My grandmother had a Miss Margaret's School of Dance to teach tap and ballet to kids, but I never studied it. I was raised a Mormon and they're dancing fools. It's the only vice they have - dancing.

I work best under pressure. At home I look at a script for about 10 minutes then I get distracted by my records, or my tape, or my videotape machine, or Scotty.

My favorite Wes Anderson movie is 'The Darjeeling Limited,' because I have two other brothers, and I just feel that connection so well. All of his films have something so great and unique about them,...

Things were so much better in the 1970s, when I was a young women undergraduate at Yale. I am grateful to have come of age during that period.

Yesterday morning I amused myself with an exercise of a talent I once possessed, but have so neglected that my performance might almost be called an experiment. I cut out a dress for one of the women.

The fascination of somebody with original creative gifts is something that's always drawn me. I get attached to them, but I can't call it being in love, because the words are so debased.

Presenting football is something that I love to do. I'm very fortunate being able to do one of the BBC's flagship shows.

I have endorsed every hair product in my career. Looks have been my bread, butter, jam. Looks are important in our society.

So I consider myself a dog person. Kind of. Had dogs when I was a kid, but my parents would never have dreamed of having them in the house.

I wasn't a kid trying to become famous. I wasn't a part of any Disney Channel wheelhouse. I was basically a black kid whose parents put him into the business so he could go to college.

I have never worn a watch. I did at 17 and it annoyed me.

I adore Biarritz. I first went there in the Eighties, and my wife and I liked it so much that we ended up buying a holiday home there.

'Pretty Little Liars' - my sister and I read the books, so we stuck to it for the first season, but it started to kind of drift off; so did we.

I'm very much half city and half country boy.

St. Louis is the best thing that ever happened to me. I needed that peace in my life. And I've always been a semi-country boy.

I would never want the responsibility of being the prettiest girl on screen; it's too much.

I shave without using shaving cream.
