They basically said that if I didn't show up for school they'd mark me present they wouldn't send the truant officer after me. At 16 I enrolled in something called continuing education. Once a month I'd go out to Jamaica but I didn't take it seriously.

I think if you have to pay for your education you worry very seriously about you're going to do when you've got your degree.

An inventor is simply a fellow who doesn't take his education too seriously.

Without education we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously.

When I was a kid I wanted to be serious like Daniel Day-Lewis. No one really dreams of being a comic actor do they? Now I realise how stupid that is - and it's because comic acting isn't taken seriously enough. It's a discipline. You know instantly - either you're funny and getting the laughs or you're not.

I know it sounds corny but when you follow your dreams it happens. And if it's music take it seriously.

I am a dreamer. Seriously I'm living on another planet.

I do love DVD and I've always taken them seriously. You know on the Austin things we really put a ton of work into them because there's so much design involved. And in this one we thought a lot about it and what could go in.

In regards to being a fashion aficionado there's a certain amount of taking yourself seriously in the professional world. The self-effacing person can't completely go down the serious road. But I design and love when things are beautiful.

Everybody thinks I'm at death's door but I'm not. There's nothing seriously wrong with me and my heart is in 100 percent working order. Anything else you may hear is a damn lie!
