If I have been of service if I have glimpsed more of the nature and essence of ultimate good if I am inspired to reach wider horizons of thought and action if I am at peace with myself it has been a successful day.

Man can never be a woman's equal in the spirit of selfless service with which nature has endowed her.

I haven't heard any music on the BBC World Service in a long time. Maybe I'm listening at the wrong times. But not one single piece of music.

More and more major businesses and industries are being run on software and delivered as online services - from movies to agriculture to national defense.

The next thing I knew I was out of the service and making movies again. My first picture was called GI Blues. I thought I was still in the army.

I think public service is a calling and you do it as long as the things that brought you into the office can continue getting you up in the morning and as long as there's still work to get done.

When I wake up on a Monday morning and I realise I don't have to go and work at the civil service I really think I've won.

There's nothing in the world more silent than the telephone the morning after everybody pans your play. It won't ring from room service your mother won't be calling you. If the phone has not rung by 8 in the morning you're dead.

When I travel I like to take advantage of room service. I'm really into eggs Benedict in the morning.

I still at hotel rooms I do this one sort of not-so-cool thing: continually shoving my room service tray in front of someone else's door. Because I don't want the remnants. I don't want to be caught like being like the pig that I was at two in the morning.
