I don't know many women who can relate to Sharon Stone and the kind of movies she does. I don't know a lot of guys who can relate to Tom Cruise's movies because they're on a kind of fantastic level.

For me growing up Christmas time was always the most fantastic exciting time of year and you'd stay up until three in the morning. You'd hear the parents wrapping in the other room but you knew that also maybe they were in collusion with Santa Claus.

Making films can be absolutely fantastic but it can also be incredibly dull. You spend the whole day sitting by yourself in your trailer and then you get called to deliver one sentence - then you're told to come back and do it again at 5:30 the following morning.

Fashion should be something that in the morning when you open your window you say 'Oh fantastic sun!' Then you take your shower you say 'OK fantastic which colour I wear today because I feel happy?' This should be fashion.

I had so many offers after 'True Blood' for things that were someone in the same vein but nowhere near Alan Ball's vision. Or something that was over-the-top and fantastical. And I've always wanted to play the regular working-class mom and I've never really had the chance to do that.

I think that the day you've figured out the differences between women and men is the day that you're no longer attracted to women. It's the difference that is so fantastic and frustrating and angering and really sexy.

It was a fantastic learning experience and OK I got slammed because I wasn't Audrey Hepburn but you could have predicted that really if you'd opened your eyes wide enough.

I feel fantastically excited that we have a leader who fought for the leadership without compromising his quite challenging view that the party has to change.

But I think it's great to be able to work with established directors and then also first-timers. I feel like you learn from both of them but then you can go and share your knowledge with each of them. That's really fantastic!

I had a vision how it should sound and I put all my knowledge into this product and it is a fantastic product. People still tell me that I have the best musical thing there.

Charles Laughton who's a great hero of mine only ever made one film and it happens to be one of the great films ever which is 'The Night of the Hunter.' It's full of his kind of imagination and creation and how you do things and just in the way he used the studio I just thought it was a fantastical way of using the studio.

I'm looking for a way out of here. I can't have it physically so I'm going to have it intellectually. It was a beautiful thing to ride Seabiscuit in my imagination. And it's just fantastic to be there alongside Louie as he's breaking the NCAA mile record. People at these vigorous moments in their lives - it's my way of living vicariously.

I like something where I can really use my imagination and be an active participant in the construction of the monster and usually that's in the world of the supernatural or the world of the fantastic so that's why those kinds of stories about demons and the supernatural appeal to me or maybe I'm really interested in that subject.

While it is true that Frank had a great sense of humor he was also very serious about composing music. In reality there are only a handful of skilled players who can play his most complex pieces. It takes a lot of patience to learn and requires a fantastic memory.

I'm really happy here. I think anyone who knows me well and the fans too I hope they know that I love the area and the bond that I've had with the fans has been fantastic.

I am proud and more than a little excited to be asked to work with Faber in an editorial capacity. It is my dearest hope that we will produce some fantastic books together.

I have a fantastic studio in my home and it's my biggest toy. I have about a half a million dollars worth of musical equipment in my house.

I think money is essential to happiness and right now I wouldn't want to be anyone other than Wilbur Smith - I've had a fantastic life rewarded far more heavily than I deserve. Maybe I'd like to be J. K. Rowling but I'll settle for second best.

At the School of Visual Arts in New York you can get your degree in Net art which is really a fantastic way of thinking of theater in new ways.

No one is going to try to fill my mother's shoes what she did was fantastic. It's about making your own future and your own destiny and Kate will do a very good job of that.

The token gay character is always so funny and so fantastic. That's happened a lot. Or they're often purely victims.

I have a fantastic relationship with money. I use it to buy my freedom.

Analysis gave me great freedom of emotions and fantastic confidence. I felt I had served my time as a puppet.

Julia Child wasn't afraid to have fun. She made fantastic food but knew how to have a good time and not be too stuck up about the kitchen space.
