I’ve been to three Olympics and I don’t feel I’ve ever quite achieved my best at any of them.

I’m adapting quite well to English football with the same will I’ve always had.

We’re really quite nice and friendly, but everyone has a beastly side to them, don’t they?

If one day I leave Arsenal, I will never sign for another English team. Quite sure.

I’m trying to go over my lines. I woke up on the floor, somebody had me in their arms. I didn’t quite know who, people looked so unfamiliar. That’s about all I remember.

I’m quite an eclectic musician.

Non-judgment quiets the internal dialogue, and this opens once again the doorway to creativity.

I want to have fun, but I don’t quite know how.

Gromit was the name of a cat. When I started modeling the cat I just didn’t feel it was quite right, so I made it into a dog because he could have a bigger nose...

It’s a brilliant surface in that sunlight. The horizon seems quite close to you because the curvature is so much more pronounced than here on earth. It’s an interesting place to be. I recommend it.

Saud bin Abd al-Aziz was the moon-faced, shortsighted, bespectacled son of the old founder of Saudi Arabia, who’d always been his father’s protege but had never quite lived up to everything that his father had.

One of the pleasures of being an actor is quite simply taking a walk in someone else’s shoes. And when I look at the roles I’ve played, I’m kind of amazed at all the wonderful...

I am always someone who follows the research more than my self-interest. It certainly has not been in my self-interest to defend men. I’ve gone from being quite wealthy, when I was defending women, to...

Writing a simple melody can take weeks to get it right where I want it, but I do quite enjoy it.

I don’t watch that much TV, so I can’t compare one show to another. When I watch television, I watch people talking to one another usually or a science show where they show me microbes,...

My parents have always been very concerned of making sure we know who we are and where we come from. I have to give them credit for that. Knowing your roots is quite important.

I don’t quite have the energy for extra curricular activities. I have to pace myself a little bit more.

I have a buddy of mine who’s a musician, and I play guitar and sing quite a bit with him.

I am quite unsatisfied by the distinctions between the oral and literate.

I frequently find after a rehearsal of a performance that I have more breath, and can walk better and climb stairs better than I could before. It’s as if I’ve expanded my lungs doing it....

I quite like ABBA.

For years, I was quite a militant atheist. I wanted to burn down all the churches or turn them into second-hand record emporiums.

I did quite a lot of menial jobs. I was a waiter, an inventory clerk touring round properties listing cups and saucers, and a laserquest marshal.

It’s shocking to say, but the cinema is quite a while away from me, and I haven’t got a car yet.

I am quite a spendthrift but just being careful because my family was not rich, was not a rich family.

I think it’s almost impossible for any expert to predict for the rapid changes we see in the Middle East. They are rapid and they will continue for quite a while.

I think often there is great rivalry between neurosurgeons and cardiac surgeons. I think I maybe have a bit of bias with neurosurgeons’ opinion that nothing tops neurosurgery! But that makes for a quite interesting...

In honesty, there are probably a lot of stories that can be told with Batman. I like the idea of him growing older and he can’t quite do it as much anymore.

I’ve set the bar quite high in terms of storytelling.

Writing for me is quite a plastic form, a kind of mental sculpture, although that sounds weird. It acquires its character and its depth as it goes along.

The idea of doing a children’s film is different, but quite honestly I like doing anything – any genre. I’ve only made one Western, which was ‘Three Amigos,’ but I would love to make a...

God touches and moves, warns and desires all equally, and He wants one quite as much as another. The inequality lies in the way in which His touch, His warnings, and His gifts are received.

How these curiosities would be quite forgot, did not such idle fellowes as I put them down.

When patronised, I’m unfortunately more flight than fight. Perhaps it’s because I actually feel quite wounded.

Nothing inspires forgiveness quite like revenge.

We still seem to trigger that intensity in people, which was quite incredible.

I am quite an early riser – I usually get up between 5.30 and 6am and take the dogs out.

When I went back and watched a couple of the older ‘Doctor Who’ episodes, I could see why some people felt the show had been quite sexist.

I’m quite disappointed that I’ll never relive my teenage years.

I can be quite serious sometimes so laughing is key.

I’m quite a competitive person, so I do quite like to win.

With some CGI, I think the brain slightly perceives that things aren’t real. There’s no gravity, the light’s not quite real, the shadows aren’t quite real.

If there are no other wonderful roles that come my way, I have a quite an interesting, dynamic life.

I don’t miss scenes at all the way that I used to miss them when I was younger making a film. It’s actually quite fun to get rid of them now.

Part of the challenge of being an entrepreneur, if you’re going for a really huge opportunity, is trying to find problems that aren’t quite on the radar yet and try to solve those.

I realized that I’m a soft person. I think I’m sensitive. I wanted very much to be tough and I think movie stars have a certain kind of resilience and toughness to them, but I’m...

My mother’s eyes were large and brown, like my son’s, but unlike Sam’s, they were always frantic, like a hummingbird who can’t quite find the flower but keeps jabbing around.

So for me, it can be theatre or being in L.A. or in some other part of the world, as long as I can explore storytelling and human connection through storytelling, I’m quite content.

I’m not picky, quite honestly.

I was quite excited, but I was sure I wouldn’t win the race. I am a realist.
