Why should I care about posterity? What's posterity ever done for me?
If we give up on politics, we're done for. Powerlessness is a self-fulfilling prophesy.
I don't really do pranks any more. I have a laugh in the dressing room here, where it's safe, and the guys don't go to the papers and tell them what I've done.
Ultimately, with every film I'd done before, there was a reference. They have their own uniqueness, but there was always a precedent.
In art, all who have done something other than their predecessors have merited the epithet of revolutionary; and it is they alone who are masters.

I had three brilliant years on 'The X Factor,' and it was one of the best jobs I've ever had. 'Strictly' is completely different; it's a whole different show - I'm dancing. It's not presenting. But this is one of the best things I've done - ever.

Pretty Woman was the easiest job I've ever done. I just wore the right toupee.
What Salman and Sajid Nadiadwala have done for me is priceless. I'll do any film for them without a single question.
Reading is like the sex act - done privately, and often in bed.
I think going to college for that one year was probable the best thing I have ever done.
I procrastinate all morning. That's when I get my office work done and answer e-mails and see what's on the Internet and do laundry.
I swing between procrastination and being really thorough so either way things aren't getting done quickly.
Love never reasons, but profusely gives; it gives like a thoughtless prodigal its all, and then trembles least it has done to little.
I had already been into my professional career for six years and had not won an individual gold medal at the Olympics. There was a tremendous amount of pressure going into 1996 to get it done.
It's an interesting line that I walk. The AIDS crisis has done a lot for my songs and made them proliferate, and my songs have contributed a lot to that cause as well.
