I like 'Guys and Dolls,' 'Singin' in the Rain' and 'A Star Is Born.' When it works, a musical is an amazing thing. But it rarely works.

It's the most amazing thing to be able to forgive.

It's an amazing thing to say, 'I'm beautiful,' without feeling like you're cocky.

The most amazing thing to me about the sea is the tide. A harbour like St. Ives is totally transformed in a very short space of time by the arrival or departure of the sea.

It's an amazing thing to watch a lizard fold a moth into its mouth, like a sword swallower who specialises in umbrellas.

The opportunity, number one, to work with Ang Lee is an amazing thing for me.
