The same people who can deny others everything are famous for refusing themselves nothing.

None of my characters are rich or famous and the situations they find themselves in could happen to anyone.

You do not want to get married at 22! Especially if you're famous because girls are going to be throwing themselves at you.

The stones themselves are thick with history and those cats that dash through the alleyways must surely be the ghosts of the famous dead in feline disguise.

I have a profound empathy for people who are in the public eye whether they manifest it themselves or whether it happened by accident - it doesn't matter to me. I think there's a great misunderstanding of what it is to be famous.

A famous person to themselves they don't get up in the morning and think I'm famous. I'm not famous to me. Famous is a perception.

The police cannot protect the citizen at this stage of our development and they cannot even protect themselves in many cases. It is up to the private citizen to protect himself and his family and this is not only acceptable but mandatory.

Think about what people are doing on Facebook today. They're keeping up with their friends and family but they're also building an image and identity for themselves which in a sense is their brand. They're connecting with the audience that they want to connect to. It's almost a disadvantage if you're not on it now.

I'm an enormous fan of people who have had a lot of faith in themselves and been on a tremendous journey.

By concentrating on what is good in people by appealing to their idealism and their sense of justice and by asking them to put their faith in the future socialists put themselves at a severe disadvantage.
