Play is always a fantasy, but once you get into the frame, it is quite real, and everything you do is real. You put acres and acres of real movement and real action and real belief in it.

Once upon a time, soft toys were for babies. Now they're taken for granted as a feature of adult life.

In the 20 years before Greece end up with the Euro, efforts to improve competitiveness through exchange rate and adjustments resulted only in temporary gains of competitiveness.

Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in a lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope.

Acting is a masochistic form of exhibitionism. It is not quite the occupation of an adult.
