I’m a Conservative, but I talk for the ordinary working classes. I get on with the boys at the pub, but I can also mix with Prince Andrew. I understand both levels. The toffs haven’t lived in council estates; they’ve just known big mansions. How can they understand how the postman feels? I would never say no to becoming an MP. – Vinnie Jones

It’s a lovely feeling, just working away at the desk, putting words down, building words up… I think you have to be aware that what you’re doing is not just a private act, it’s a societal thing. – Sarah Hall
In addition to joblessness, of course, by the working of supply and demand, when you have a larger number of people unemployed, wages do not rise at the normal level, so that we had last year a drop in real wages. – Tim Bishop
I’ve never been to Hollywood. I can count the number of times I’ve been to Los Angeles on my hands. I’ve never made a movie there and I’ve never been there for working reasons. The only reason to go there is for silly awards shows. – Stephen Daldry
You start to think in terms of making an album that might be greater than the sum of its parts.

I am in favor of community policing because it builds better working relationships with the communities. – Vincent Frank
When I’m not working, I spend a lot of time on my hair. When it’s time for my hair to get some rest, I either wear it in a ponytail, bun or my favorite ‘milkmaid’ braid. – Tracee Ellis Ross
Just do the math. In the next 50 to 75 years, people will be living to be 130 and 140. They’ll be working until they’re 100. It’s incredible. – Willard Scott
