I remember Michael saying, ‘Rich and famous? It’s much better to be just rich’. I didn’t quite get it to begin with. But he’s right. You lose anonymity. I say to my family that you’ve no idea until you lose it how precious anonymity is. – Julie Walters
I have resolved to pick one novel and just read it over and over again for the rest of my life, because I cannot remember anything anymore. – Hugh Laurie
Peter Brook’s ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ I remember seeing. That was pretty early on. And suddenly, I realized how theatrical Shakespeare is, how alive, how wonderful it is when it’s opened up by a great director and a great company. – Jeremy Irons
I always admired Walt’s optimism. He seemed to know the direction he was going to. When I was at the studio, I remember he kept driving all of us back down to a more fundamental level all the time. – John Hench
All writers are the same – they forget a thousand good reviews and remember one bad one. – Irwin Shaw
I slept in van Gogh’s bed. I worked in the room where he painted. I saw the place where he was cared for when he cut off his ear. I lived in the jail cell where he stayed. And I looked out the window. You remember that picture of the cornfields through the bars? That was what I saw. – Irving Stone

The thing about a music career is that it ain’t over until the fat lady sings. Look at all the times people threw in the towel on Dylan – or Neil Young. Remember when Young was doing things in the ’80s like ‘Trans’ and the rockabilly album and being completely lambasted by critics who now think he is wonderful again? – Jeff Buckley
I was helped by having a verbatim memory of what happened years ago, even if I can’t remember what happened a couple of days ago. – James Herriot

Because I was an only, I had more things, and I remember early on the kick I got from giving stuff away. Despite all the myths about only children not being able to share, actually I’ve never knowingly met a stingy one. – Julie Burchill
I remember the last three days that I was president, I never went to bed at all. I never went to bed until we had negotiated the final release of the hostages. – Jimmy Carter
I remember playing the Mad Hatter in a school play and feeling very comfortable in the character. – John Burnside
