Working hard is important. But there is something that matters even more: believing in yourself.

We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.

I would always want printed books.

It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

Is 'fat' really the worst thing a human being can be? Is 'fat' worse than 'vindictive', 'jealous', 'shallow', 'vain', 'boring' or 'cruel'? Not to me.

In fact, you couldn't give me anything to make me go back to being a teenager. Never. No, I hated it.

I remember the first time I heard a teenager say 'LOL.' Just what? But it means 'laugh.' Why don't you just laugh? What are you doing?

It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.

It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

The best of us must sometimes eat our words.

I really don't believe in magic.

I sometimes have a tendency to walk on the dark side.

I pay a lot of tax and I feel one of the reasons I stay and pay why I'm not based in Monaco... I think my country helped me.

It is perfectly possible to live a very moral life without a belief in God, and I think it's perfectly possible to live a life peppered with ill-doing and believe in God.

The internet has been a boon and a curse for teenagers.

I just hate meetings.

There are some things you can't share without ending up liking each other.

To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.

I think I've really exhausted the magical. It was a lot of fun, but I've put it behind me for the time being.

Death is just life's next big adventure.
