In this world nothing can be said to be certain except death and taxes.

To not be modest about it you'll find that with only a couple of exceptions most of the musicians that I've worked with have done their best work by far with me.

Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.

Use those talents you have. You will make it. You will give joy to the world. Take this tip from nature: The woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang except those who sang best.

Use what talents you possess the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.

It is always the best policy to speak the truth unless of course you are an exceptionally good liar.

There is an abiding beauty which may be appreciated by those who will see things as they are and who will ask for no reward except to see.

Wealth beauty and fame are transient. When those are gone little is left except the need to be useful.

Beauty is an outward gift which is seldom despised except by those to whom it has been refused.

I believe that history has shape order and meaning that exceptional men as much as economic forces produce change and that passe abstractions like beauty nobility and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.

It's sad when girls think they don't have anything going on except being pretty.

Hollywood's a very weird place. I think there's less of everything except for attitude.

I'm not going to take this defeatist attitude and listen to all this crap any more from all these people who have nothing except doomsday to predict.

Never refuse an assignment except when there is a conflict of interest a potential of danger to you or your family or you hold a strongly biased attitude about the subject under focus.

If you are going to achieve excellence in big things you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception it is a prevailing attitude.

I have a small house so I borrow everything except art that's what I love.

I often find myself privately stewing about much British art thinking that except for their tremendous gardens that the English are not primarily visual artists and are in nearly unsurpassable ways literary.

There is nothing new in art except talent.

Dying is an art like everything else. I do it exceptionally well. I do it so it feels like hell. I do it so it feels real. I guess you could say I've a call.

Art ought never to be considered except in its relations with its ideal beauty.

Vitality is radiated from exceptional art and architecture.

The reason why I love people and writing about them is because they don't always respond with hate and anger. If they did I wouldn't have a story to tell. Who wants to know about someone who was brutalised and became brutal? I'm interested in the exceptions.

What's amazing is that I'm recognized all over the world through 'Red Dwarf.' British fans are exceptional but the American fans are something else. Some of them fly 500 miles to stand in line for three hours just to meet me then when they do they collapse. It makes you feel like a rock star!
