I don’t know much of direction even after acting in so many movies. In fact, I still don’t understand some simple things.

I really wouldn’t want to live in America. I found New York claustrophobic and dirty. I missed England when I was there, simple things like smells and the British sense of humor.

As you get older, the cliches of life ring true. It’s the simple things that matter most: your family, the people you love, your health and sanity.
There are a lot of people who helped make Queen Latifah who she is today. I don’t forget, but a lot of people do and get big heads. My mom will make me walk the dogs or take out the trash when I go home. I’m not allowed to get a big head; I’ve still got to do the simple things in life.

For me, making music is about my whole life. The basics, the components, simple things – family, living, just going to the market and getting new fruit and veg. That’s what keeps my blood flowing.

When you’re away from home for a fight camp it’s the simple things that you miss the most. For me, that’s laying on the sofa with my daughters and spending quality family time and small things like that.

We try to stick pretty close to what our goals are and what we believe and what we enjoy doing in life – just simple things.
The business model – where books can be returned, and where a 50% sell-through is considered acceptable – is archaic and wasteful.

Movement is exercise. Seemingly simple things – taking a walk, for example – can be just the spark your body needs to get back on a healthy track.
