There was no last animal I treated. When young farm lads started to help me over the gate into a field or a pigpen, to make sure the old fellow wouldn't fall, I started to consider retiring.

2

Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.

3

The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.

4

The greatest writers of this age... are aware of the mystery of our existence.

5

I'm not one for walking the beaches humming a melody. I love the discipline of sitting in the studio, writing and listening. That is my domain.

6

After all is said and done, more is said than done.

7

Well, then we got to know each other and eventually worked out a bit of idea of management.

8

It scares you: all the noise, the rattling, the shaking. But the look on everybody's face when you're finished and packing, it's the best smile in the world; and there's nobody hurt, and the well's under control.

9

It is better to make a piece of music than to perform one, better to perform one than to listen to one, better to listen to one than to misuse it as a means of distraction, entertainment, or acquisition of 'culture.'

10

God help me if I ever do another movie with an explosion in it. If you see me in a movie where stuff is exploding you'll know I've lost all my money.

11

It wasn't glamorous in my day. In the regions, reporters were seen as such low life that they didn't merit their name in the Radio Times. Now people are interested in being famous. I never gave it a thought.

12

And humility in politics means accepting that one party doesn't have all the answers; recognising that working in partnership is progress not treachery.

13

No matter what message you are about to deliver somewhere, whether it is holding out a hand of friendship, or making clear that you disapprove of something, is the fact that the person sitting across the table is a human being, so the goal is to always establish common ground.

14

Never be ashamed to write a melody that people remember.

15

Walking around on the moon was significantly easier than we'd thought it would be. There weren't any balance problems, so you weren't tumbling over.

1

I always have trouble remembering three things: faces, names, and - I can't remember what the third thing is.

2

I sum up the prospects for 1967 in three short sentences. We are back on course. The ship is picking up speed. The economy is moving. Every seaman knows the command at such a moment: 'steady as she goes'.

3

A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.

4

If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans

5

I am in so many movies that are on TV at 2:00 a.m. that people think I am dead.

6

The bad news for journalists today is that the media, however seriously people who are in the public eye take it, is not taken as seriously as it once was - by the public.

7

Pick up a camera. Shoot something. No matter how small, no matter how cheesy, no matter whether your friends and your sister star in it. Put your name on it as director. Now you're a director. Everything after that you're just negotiating your budget and your fee.

8

People have to understand how important it is for the players to let off steam, switch off and relax.

9

People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.

10

A surprising amount of my jokes sound very implausible but are true.

11

I practised making faces in the mirror and it would drive my mother crazy. She used to scare me by saying that I was going to see the devil if I kept looking in the mirror. That fascinated me even more, of course.

12

Unless both sides win, no agreement can be permanent.

13

I was never the class clown, and I've no idea where the comedy came from..

14

Of all the things which wisdom provides to make us entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship.

15

If you've got unemployment, low pay, that was just too bad. But that was the system. That was the sort of economy and philosophy against which I was fighting in the 1930s.

1

I believe it is peace in our time

2

American stuntmen are smart - they think about safety. When they do a jump in a car, they calculate everything: the speed, the distance... But in Hong Kong, we don't know how to count. Everything we do is a guess. If you've got the guts, you do it. All of my stuntmen have gotten hurt.

3

When in doubt, have a man come through the door with a gun in his hand.

4

I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me-like food or water.

5

Oh, my only - if I had one frustration in being on 'West Wing' is I wasn't on it enough, because I was in and out.

6

Beckham is unusual. He was desperate to be a footballer. His mind was made up when he was nine or ten. Many kids think that it's beyond them. But you can't succeed without practising at any sport.

7

The reason is that for many years I have avoided reading anything whatsoever that approaches my own line of country, out of a somewhat fanatical desire to avoid the risk of unconscious imitation.

8

Nowhere so busy a man as he than he, and yet he seemed busier than he was.

9

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men

10

Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.

11

You can't relate to a superhero, to a superman, but you can identify with a real man who in times of crisis draws forth some extraordinary quality from within himself and triumphs but only after a struggle.

12

Our goal is to make finance the servant, not the master, of the real economy.

13

An American monkey, after getting drunk on brandy, would never touch it again, and thus is much wiser than most men.

14

I'd marry again if I found a man who had fifteen million dollars, would sign over half to me, and guarantee that he'd be dead within a year.

15

Bond is part of the system. He's an imperialist and a misogynist, and he laughs at killing people, and he sits there slugging martinis. It'll never be the same thing as this, because Bourne is a guy who is against the establishment, who is paranoid and on the run. I just think fundamentally they're just very different things.
