At the World Cup, there is a constant risk that you might find a bag or some object that has been left behind, and no one is quite sure what it is. To bring in a full bomb-disposal team for each item can be very time-consuming. The PackBot can go over rough terrain, climb stairs,...

There are so many things to take into account – your ambition, your ego, the press, the consumers. You can never be sure that you’ll be on top of the pile again.

When the doors of opportunity swing open, we must make sure that we are not too drunk or too indifferent to walk through.

There was a combination of not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, but also really not wanting to be stuck in Lord of the Rings for the rest of my life, and being desperate to kind of make sure that I could do something else with my life.

I make sure I sing a cappella to let people know I can sing.

I’m not sure whether I could win a Nobel Prize or not, but the Nobel Committee called me, and, ‘You got the Nobel Prize.’ So, I was so, so happy, and I was so surprised.

Sometimes you’re not sure about a player. Sometimes you doubt. Sometimes you have to guess. Sometimes… you just know.

I don’t really like the term ‘artist.’ I’m not sure what it means. It’s a bit like ‘love.’

I value kindness in myself and others. I try to remain super-vigilant about my targets and make extra sure that my sometimes barbed comments are deserved and in response to genuine malefaction.

I would say we are a friend in need and I am sure that the Greek people would very much welcome the choice of the British people to come and enjoy Greece, first of all, but also that would be a sign of support.

I’m not even sure I have a style! All I know for sure is I don’t want to look like everyone else.

I saw a sign one time that said ‘hemorrhoids awareness week’ at the doctor’s office. Let me tell you, if you got hemorrhoids, I’m sure you are aware of it. You don’t need a sign to tell anybody about it.

Time, I’m pretty sure, is light.

Characters can be mysterious and you’re not really sure which way they might turn at a given point.

I’m sure we don’t read old paintings the way they were intended.

I guess for every government – for many governments, they only have short vision, they only have three-year term or a four-year term. So they have to make sure they get enough support from the voter. So they probably have to deal with more short-term issues which are related to being re-elected.

Do what makes you feel good. Remind yourself of what you’re good at and make sure you do that.

All companies of any size have to continue to push to make sure you get the right leaders, the right team, the right people to be fast acting, and fast moving in the marketplace. We’ve got great leaders, and we continue to attract and promote great new leaders.

I need a break from politics, that’s for sure. This is the hardest job in America.

When you’re expected to win and you have the press saying that you are going to win the Olympic gold medal, and you’re the only sure thing in the Olympics, it can undermine your confidence.

And there are no stars and that you’re never really sure who’s doing what and what voice is what and, you know what I mean? It’s supposed to be quite elusive.

If we insist on being as sure as is conceivable… we must be content to creep along the ground, and never soar.

Wherever a writer grew up, they’re obviously influenced by that area, and I’m sure their characters are pulled from those experiences.

Sure, I have advice for people starting to write. Don’t. I don’t need the competition.

When are we going to say cancer is cured? I’m not sure when that will happen, if that will happen because cancer is a very slippery disease and it involves a vast number of cells in the body and those cells are continually mutating.

I’m often asked how I write books, but I don’t think my approach is suitable for everyone. If I walked into a creative writing class, all I could say to them was ‘I tend to make it up as I go along.’ I’m not sure that’s brilliant advice.

I was being groomed to be a tennis player for sure. My grandparents and parents realised I had a natural athletic ability and if I was forced to do it, I could probably do well. But all I wanted was to play pretend.
