I'm very lucky. I am one of those people who is able to go home shut the front door and completely focus on the kids.

Even cooking at home the difference between my wife cooking and me cooking is major. When my wife cooks the kitchen looks like a disaster. When I cook it's completely clean and organized and it doesn't look like anyone has been cooking in there.

I much prefer working with kids whose life could be completely upended by a reading of a book over a weekend. You give them a book to read - they go home and come back a changed person. And that is so much more interesting and exciting.

The Deep South has a completely different history both good and bad that is fascinating for everybody. It makes people work together who usually don't and that sounds like a cliche in so many ways but it actually happened... and it happened because of a beautiful idea.

De Sade is the one completely consistent and thoroughgoing revolutionary of history.

A modern health and social care system has to be completely focussed on the needs of its users.

I made a commitment to completely cut out drinking and anything that might hamper me from getting my mind and body together. And the floodgates of goodness have opened upon me - spiritually and financially.

I love being on stage. I'm completely totally relaxed. It's the only time in my life when I know where I am and what's coming next. The other Robert Powell is probably fairly melancholic. Let's just say happiness isn't my default position. There are dark parts. I'm very good at it. I frighten people sometimes.

I think my capacity to change has given me tremendous happiness because who I am today I am completely content to be.

Even if happiness forgets you a little bit never completely forget about it.
