Christmas is taken very seriously in this household. I believe in Father Christmas and there's no way I'd do anything to undermine that belief.

My wife whenever I'd go off to work and I'd be kind of anxious she'll say 'Remember have fun.' Oh I forgot thanks for the reminder. Because sometimes we do forget. We take it all too seriously and there's a lot of joy to be had wherever you are.

My work is a game a very serious game.

A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes.

I take the work seriously just not myself in it.

Surround yourself with people who take their work seriously but not themselves those who work hard and play hard.

Ageism works in both directions. As a teenager in the public eye people would talk condescendingly to me. When you get older there's this feeling that you have to start carving up your face and body. Right now I'm in the middle ground - I think women in their thirties are taken seriously.

One time when somebody showed up in a wedding dress but I never knew if it was a joke or she was serious. She asked me to marry her. She was serious. It was pretty funny.

I consider Bush's decision to call for a war against terrorism a serious mistake. He is elevating these criminals to the status of war enemies and one cannot lead a war against a network if the term war is to retain any definite meaning.

War is too serious a matter to leave to soldiers.
