When I come to England, I don't claim England; I don't

When I come to England, I don’t claim England; I don’t own it. I feel a great kinship because of the literature and the landscape. I have great affection for Edward Thomas and Philip Larkin, but there’s still this distance: looking on at what I’m admiring, separate from what I am. And that’s OK.
Derek Walcott
‘Edward Scissorhands’ was tough to let go of because I found real safety in allowing myself to be that open, that honest. To explore purity. It was a hard one to walk away from.
Johnny Depp
I am incrementally a pessimist, but I see the international debate that Edward Snowden has engendered, and I think this is exactly where the discussion should be. So, I would say I’m more optimistic than pessimistic.
Adam Savage
I’ve always been drawn to the Edwardian period in England. To me, it seems like such a fascinating time, when the British Empire was at the height of its powers and the strict mores of the Victorian age were dissipating into the decadence of King Edward’s reign.
Kevin Kwan
In the U.S., the ’50s and ’60s marked the documentary’s golden age, especially at CBS, where pioneering television journalist Edward R. Murrow, immortalised in George Clooney’s ‘Good Night, and Good Luck,’ produced such landmark investigations as the CBS Reports programme ‘Hunger in America.’
Naomi Wolf
Most people would think if you’re the prime news anchor, then you should sort of be this Edward R. Murrow, Clark Kent guy with the family and 2.5 kids – or the perky, cute yet smart Katie Couric.
Don Lemon
ISIS is a learning enemy, and former Deputy Director of NSA Chris Inglis says that they have gone to school on the documents released by Edward Snowden and have changed their communications practices.
Michael Hayden
It’s a problem for him because he’s got – like Edward VII had – nearly all his lifetime to wait until he becomes Monarch. What is he going to do with it? So he wants to do something positive but he always courts those dangers.
Anthony Holden
If I or my soldiers have plundered or done injury to the houses or to the ministers of religion, I repent me of my sin – but it is not of Edward of England that I shall ask pardon.
William Wallace
To Edward, I cannot be a traitor, for I owe him no allegiance; he is not my sovereign; he never received my homage; and whilst life is in this persecuted body, he shall never receive it.
William Wallace
I live in a wonderful world of make-believe. A world of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. A world of Winnie the Pooh and Edward Bear. Things like that. Wonderful things. Funny things.
Eileen Ford
I did my teen-age years in World War II. War news was a constant. We kept the radio on in our house to hear Edward R. Murrow broadcasting from the rooftops of London, describing the blitz.
Orson Bean
I love traditional shoes. I have a nice couple of pairs of traditional Oxford-style shoes, a pair of Edward Green shoes, and I aspire to a pair of hand-made George Cleverley shoes. Mark McNairy, all those are amazing.
Jamie Cullum
And I’ve shot in Prince Edward Island winters, I mean, I’ve shot in some intense, intense temperatures.

I didn’t want to travel. I didn’t want to leave my family. I heard all these stories from Dad about not having Edward around when he was young, and I didn’t want that to happen.
Kim Weston
I have a lot of ‘Twilight’ gear. I love the hoodies that say ‘vampires’ and ‘werewolves,’ but I refuse to get one because I can’t choose; I have to have them both. I have the Team Edward T-shirt, but I also have Team Jacob.
Christian Serratos
I did grow up reading the ‘Twilight’ books. I feel guilty, but I was always Team Edward.
Halston Sage

Chris Riddell
I am definitely a Tim Burton fan. I had seen ‘Edward Scissorhands’ enough times to know it by heart. That’s exciting: to work on something you feel like you really get.
Kate Leth

Steve Vai
My earliest experience was reading Edward Albee’s ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?’ at 8, you know, with a bunch of kids on my steps – on the stoops – and knowing that I wanted to direct them saying the lines. I don’t really know how to articulate that ’cause there wasn’t someone to show me.
Lee Daniels
I’m from a little village in the south of Holland where there was nothing to do but watch American movies and television – I grew up with The ‘A-Team,’ ‘Charlie’s Angels,’ and ‘Edward Scissorhands.’

When I was young, my favorite picture book was ‘Fletcher and Zenobia,’ written by Edward Gorey and illustrated by Victoria Chess. It’s long out of print now, but its mix of macabre humor and 1960s psychedelia made it a perfect children’s book for the times.
Rick Riordan
I haven’t read the ‘Twilight’ books. But it’s everywhere so I feel like I know it. Edward, Bella, Jacob, etc. but… I haven’t read them.
Max Irons
Almost every person that I had a preconception of, I was wrong. With Edward Teller, I was right. He was an autocrat and a technocrat, with no feeling for humanity.
Brian Grazer
I’m a big fan of the Pre-Raphaelites. Millais, Edward Burne-Jones, and I realised recently that my music is Pre-Raphaelite in a certain way, in that it reinvents an older era and romanticises it, puts it in this gilded frame.
Rufus Wainwright
I picked 'It's Not Unusual,' and then I did the little

I picked ‘It’s Not Unusual,’ and then I did the little hop that Tom Jones does and moved my hips. Tim loved it. He came up to me and said, ‘Did you know that I used Tom Jones in ‘Edward Scissorhands’?’
Deep Roy

Alan Moore’s first choice to be the Comedian… was Burt Reynolds. But I never saw myself as Burt Reynolds; I saw myself as Edward Blake.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan
I’ve always liked texts that you immediately understand. I suppose the playwrights who really speak to me are Edward Bond, Joe Orton and Harold Pinter. I’ve been in six different Pinter productions – I love the clarity of his language. He has this way of using words – there’s a thrill to them.
Kenneth Cranham
As a small kid, I came across things like these early Edward Gorey books in department-store bookstores. These were these really unusual objects to me. I didn’t know how they fit into the comic world or into newspaper comics.
Ben Katchor
Edward Curtis was a photographer in the late 19th century who tried to document the rapidly disappearing Native Americans. He assembled a canon of work which, today, is exemplary and invaluable.

Robert Picardo
Look, I certainly couldn’t say that my unusual upbringing didn’t lend itself to becoming an actor – of course it did. People want to see what Edward and Joanna’s son can do.
Freddie Fox
I did meet Edward Olmos at the ‘Filly Brown’ premiere, but I was such a nerd. I could only muster out a really quiet ‘Hi,’ before I turned bright red all over. I definitely got star struck.
Lindsey Morgan
Edward Albee, the premier dark playwright of the American theater, would show up at rehearsal and quote his favorite lines from ‘Auntie Mame’. He would stand at the back of the theater, not facing the stage, and sort of conduct the music of his play.
Bill Irwin
Usually I am not a conspiracy theorist. I don’t believe in the Bilderbergers as a conspiracy or the Trilateralists. But I am certain that the Communists killed JFK. There is a super great book called ‘Legend’ by Edward Jay Epstein that makes it all perfectly clear.
Ben Stein
