My whole journey and career has been really interesting, but the one element it never really had was any sense of great momentum.

One wrong move, and you destroy your career.

I don't call acting a real job, and writing is a hobby.

There's a stage where you're desperate to get a job, and you're waving your hands in a sea of nothingness, going, 'Please, please, please! I'm over here - give me a job!'

The HUAC did a deal with me. I was pretty much worn down. I had no money. I couldn't borrow.

If you can't make 40% on your money in Russia, you're a fool.

Sound public finances are the essential foundation on which to construct a better-balanced economy from the wreckage of Labour's boom and bust. But it is economic growth that will create the jobs and the prosperity for the future and enable us to pay down Labour's debt.

I'm not a very good financing person. I don't even know how much money I have in my bank account. I never have opened one single envelope from the bank - they freak me out.
