Family is family over the internet, over Skype, over the telephone. Love is love. You don’t have to actually go through some ritual to prove that you love somebody Picture Quote #1

I love storytelling. If you strip all the bits away, what you’ll find at the center is a storyteller.

The leaping Jaguar on the bonnet, to me, makes it look more like a hunter than something that is getting away. It’s a hunter. Richard III definitely would have had a chauffeur driven Jaguar MK X Picture Quote #1

They’re a very strange lot actors, very strange people Picture Quote #1

The biggest surprise in a man’s life is old age Picture Quote #1
