I actually build my dreams around the dancers I've got in my company.

So many of my dreams were to actually be able to make a living of what I did as a hobby.

I have shared my whole life. My private and my show business life. It helps me actually to feel my songs and to go on with my dreams.

I worked on my voice for Sweet Dreams but only to match my speaking voice to Patsy's actual singing voice. That was my way into that character.

I'd definitely be the kind of parent who enabled my child's dreams. I'd just watch and nurture and guide them. I have the blueprints of what not to do... I think I'd be a good parent actually.

A plant-based diet has actually simplified my life in so many ways. For breakfast I try to get my first serving of fruits and nuts for fuel. I'm completely addicted to coconut water for the electrolytes and hydration.

Do not suppose however that I intend to urge a diet of classics on anybody. I have seen such diets at work. I have known people who have actually read all or almost all the guaranteed Hundred Best Books. God save us from reading nothing but the best.

In the 1970s we got nouvelle cuisine in which a lot of the old rules were kicked over. And then we had cuisine minceur which people mixed up with nouvelle cuisine but was actually fancy diet cooking.

There were years when I was a beer and tequila guy then I got real fat. And then I found that you could actually go on a diet and drink scotch. Then I got hooked on scotch and if you get hooked on scotch then everything else just tastes wrong.

I wear a lot of different hats - from writer to producer and artist. We all do 5 or 6 jobs everything from creating our own graphic design to actually recording and the whole bit.

Actually I didn't make the claim that Ruby follows the principle of least surprise. Someone felt the design of Ruby follows that philosophy so they started saying that. I didn't bring that up actually.

The reward is that you can actually create a world separate from reality with a story actors music and camera design. When it works it can entertain move people and teach us all.

I actually started as a model builder and quickly progressed into production design which made sense because I could draw and paint. But I kept watching that guy over there who was moving the actors around and setting up the shots.

Let's be realistic how many people are buying a $2 000 skirt? I love to design things that people can actually buy. I'm staggered by what a boot costs today.

The actual tragedies of life bear no relation to one's preconceived ideas. In the event one is always bewildered by their simplicity their grandeur of design and by that element of the bizarre which seems inherent in them.

You know I've never actually really believed that death is inevitable. I just think it's a rumor.

When we play 'Angel of Death' it's actually a 2 and half minutes sing 'til our party starts. That song is pretty much been played traditionally in the end.

I think I might actually die of showing off. It'll be on my headstone - 'Cause of Death: Showing Off.'

Dying before dying has two important consequences: It liberates the individual from the fear of death and influences the actual experience of dying at the time of biological demise.

I was never afraid of failure after that because I think coming that close to death you get kissed. With the years the actual experience of course fades but the flavor of it doesn't. I just had a real sense of what choice do I have but to live fully?

The difference between art about death and actual death is that one's a celebration and the other's a dull fact.

Salman Rushdie indeed any writer who abuses the prophet or indeed any prophet under Islamic law the sentence for that is actually death.

The very essence of literature is the war between emotion and intellect between life and death. When literature becomes too intellectual - when it begins to ignore the passions the emotions - it becomes sterile silly and actually without substance.

Because of indifference one dies before one actually dies.
