I watch comedy on TV, and it’s too cutty for me. I get a little jarred, and it succeeds. It’s not like it’s not working, and I look at certain things, and it has the cutting… it’s not like I’d make terribly different cuts, but for some reason, it moves too fast for me.
As long as you have money to live then it’s not a terribly important thing. If you don’t have enough to live, then it’s very important thing.

If I took my characters home with me, half of my life would be a misery, I think. No, I tend to compartmentalize work from my life. I’m not terribly method.
I’d always liked to write, but I never wanted to be a writer, because it seemed a sissy occupation. It is. To this day, I find it terribly easy. And so, rather than trying to hunt up a text, I just wrote one.
I’m terribly attention-seeking. It’s very different once you get all this attention, though. Because then you want to control it. And you can’t exactly.
Manhattan, though, was an entirely different ballgame in a whole different kind of world, with a man who was brilliant and at the same time terribly charismatic.
It wasn’t until I realised that I could actually take nice photographs that I started to become passionate about it. I then got a few jobs working for magazines in London, and I would get terribly excited and intense about doing a job and taking photographs and looking through the lens to capture something amazing.
Be good to yourself. Listen to your body, to your heart. We’re very hard on ourselves, and we’re always feeling like we’re not doing enough. It’s a terribly hard job.
I’m not by nature a terribly intuitive person; I need to build a situation in which I will behave more intuitively, and that has really changed the life of my work – I found a way to trick myself into being intuitive.
I used to be terribly shy, so I was either shy or over the top, and I always had a difficult time.
When I was 4 years old, I woke up in the middle of the night and told my parents there was a witch crying outside in the boxwood bushes. I didn’t know who she was or why she was crying, but I was terribly upset.

While I don’t satisfy my curiosity about the way I work, I’m terribly curious about the way other poets work. But I would think that’s true about many of us.

Because these credit agencies operate in the dark, they are allowed to be terribly unfair and unaccountable.
I think this country is terribly, horribly obsessed with age, and it really is just this country. If you’re still living and breathing at 50, then count your blessings!
I got a part in the film ‘Emma’ in which Gwyneth was playing the lead. She was going out with Brad Pitt at the time. I asked her if, with a name like Gwyneth, she had any Welsh connections. She wasn’t terribly friendly.
I was at the Royal Art School. That was a preparatory school specially for art teachers. You see, it was not so much for the development of artists. But we had there terribly stiff training.
Recently I made the mistake of opening a bundle of reviews that someone had sent me of a production from years and years ago, and someone had written a really lovely review except that it made a remark about the way I spoke: ‘A lot of people find her voice terribly irritating.’ Do they? I had no idea.
I’m looking forward to sproglets but, as I’m the main breadwinner, I feel I ought to capitalise on my career for a bit longer. Mother keeps telling me I should go and freeze some eggs. Not terribly romantic, is it?
You know, one of the things I like about this world, or at least I like about the way we’re presenting this world, is these issues are terribly complicated – not nearly as black and white as we’re led to believe.
A show like Knots or any other show that can be called a soap opera does terribly in syndication because if you’re a viewer and you miss a week you don’t know what’s going on.

You know how Bette Midler always says her obituary will read, ‘Bette Midler dies. Started her career at the Continental Baths?’ Mine will say ‘Chris March died. He was on Season 4 of ‘Project Runway.” It’s an amazing show, it did a lot for me, and I’m fine with it. Unless it becomes terribly disreputable.
There is something about a closet that makes a skeleton terribly restless.
Without censorship, things can get terribly confused in the public mind.
I see so much more than I used to see. The effect has been to depress and sadden and hurt me terribly.
So research is a terribly imperfect science, and you learn an awful lot more after you’ve published a book, because people keep writing to you and saying, ‘Oh, gosh, I was related to such and such a character and I have a letter in my possession.’
I couldn’t have children, so that’s the bad side. But compared to everything else I have, it’s not all that terribly bad. I count my winners rather than my losers.
Nowadays I’d describe myself as earnest, terribly earnest. I’m the person who wants everybody in the room to feel important and happy.
I don’t regret what I did in the Sixties. I was young and took myself terribly seriously. In the Seventies, I spent too much time in inner-party factional disputes.
I’m terribly shallow. I don’t miss things once I have stopped doing them, and I don’t miss people when I stop seeing them.
Most people wait for the muse to turn up. That’s terribly unreliable. I have to sit down and pursue the muse by attempting to work.
I used to have a private… life. Now I dont have that… I have no freedom. I miss my normal life terribly. Its a prison-like life I’m leading.
I would be terribly disappointed if anything would get in the way of my being cast in something, or if performances were canceled. It was a fix that I obviously needed.

I know that some actors take acting terribly seriously. I take it seriously in that if someone pays me to do it I know I have to deliver.
I was terribly upset not to be in ‘Dickensian,’ so I pretend to look down on it. The part I should have played, Mrs. Gamp, is done brilliantly by Pauline Collins, but I entered this world for no other reason than to play that part.
I was terribly shy when I was growing up, I really wasn’t confident with other people and I think I was always afraid of up or not being this very cool, amazing person that I wanted to be.
The original Spencer Tracy version of ‘The Old Man and the Sea’ was always terribly flawed because of the over-reliance on voice over, but it’s still a beautiful movie.
My lasting impression of Truman Capote is that he was a terribly gentle, terribly sensitive, and terribly sad man.
If rock-and-roll is well done, there’s nothing so terribly wrong with that kind of music. But the lyrics are another story.
I’m not terribly well read. My wife forces books into my hands and insists I read them, which I’m grateful to her for. She made me read ‘War and Peace.’ The whole thing. It was amazing, but I had to hide it. You can’t walk round reading ‘War and Peace’ – it’s like you’re in a comedy sketch and you think you’re smart.

I think my biggest flaw is my insecurity. I’m terribly insecure. I’m plagued with insecurities 24/7.
Actors always lie about horse-riding, and it ends terribly. I can horse-ride… ish.
Anything I shouldn’t laugh at makes me laugh. I mean, I’m bad at that, when somebody is singing something terribly and I’m thinking to myself, ‘If I laugh now, this is the absolute worst thing I could ever do,’ and then I start laughing and I can’t stop.
I trained as a designer, so I’m always terribly keen about what I’m going to look like.
