It is pretty amazing. My parents who came from Nicaragua to the U.S. - who would have thought that they would have American kids on the Olympic team? I think that's the epitome of the Olympic dream.

What you know about the people whom you know at all well is truly amazing even though you have never formulated it.

I thought it was amazing to work with authors to get a manuscript and try to make up a cover for it.

Well Freddie Mercury is a really huge rock star in my head. I've always thought he was just so tough and such an amazing entertainer really a contradiction in many ways as well. So he was incredible.

It's odd because I used to see pictures on telly or wherever of what I now know to be Shaftesbury Avenue and I used to wonder what that amazing street with all the lights was. Well now I know. I think when you get a wee taste of something it maybe isn't what you thought it was.

Actually we got signed in November of 2000 with Dreamworks which is the most amazing label. We have friends on other labels and though we are not selling millions of records yet they treat us with tons of respect and give us some very good guidance.

Raising a small child as a woman while travelling 10 months out of the year would I believe be something I would not be able or even want to do although with the amazing example of Leila I am no longer so sure.

Fame and stuff like that is all very cool but at the end of the day we're all human beings. Although what I do is incredibly surreal and fun and amazing and I'm really grateful for it I don't believe my own press release do you know what I mean?

I have amazing people around me. I couldn't be in a better place. I'm grateful for my life and where I'm at. I never thought I could be in the position that I'm in.

Well I've always thought that my career was in England really. I used to do more in the theatre and I felt that I should be there. It's not far is it? It's amazing the way that special FX have taken a quantum leap in what they're capable of doing.

Each of us have things and thoughts and descriptions of an amazing universe in our possession that kings in the 17th Century would have gone to war to possess.

I jetset around and play these songs and get to hang with some pretty amazing people then I go home to a really great farm though actually it's a disaster area of a farm at the moment. But it's certainly a blast. I wouldn't trade lives with anyone right now.

I thought after the Pulitzer at least nothing will surprise me quite that much in my life. And another one happened. It was quite amazing.

And I thought when I have kids that's the sort of well told silly and fun fairy tale that I would want to take them to. But it was an amazing experience. And I think Shrek is a real classic a fairy tale classic.

I started running outside when I was at 'Biggest Loser.' Then I got runner's knee and thought I was never going to be able to shake it. When I overcame that and ran the L.A. Marathon it was such an amazing thing and now running is such a part of my routine.

I don't know how many thoughts we have a second but it's quite an amazing number and just to pin down the appropriate sequence of those all you really need is a pencil and a piece of paper.

I've had some amazing people in my life. Look at my father - he came from a small fishing village of five hundred people and at six foot four with giant ears and a kind of very odd expression thought he could be a movie star. So go figure you know?

I thought I was dreaming. It was the most amazing moment of my entire life. Not only is Bill the love of my life but he's also my best friend. I couldn't believe my dream guy was asking me to marry him!

When I was little I saw the play 'Les Miserables' on Broadway I thought it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen.

Although believers by nature are far from God and children of wrath even as others yet it is amazing to think how nigh they are brought to him again by the blood of Jesus Christ.

I'm not an Adonis that's for damn sure. I've never really thought of myself that way and it doesn't matter to me. My favorite actors aren't Adonises. Dustin Hoffman is a flawed-looking man he's amazing to me. Tom Hanks is flawed-looking people love him. Same with Gene Hackman.

I realized the other day that I've lived in New York longer than I've lived anywhere else. It's amazing: I am a New Yorker. It's strange I never thought I would be.

What I've enjoyed most though is meeting people who have a real interest in food and sharing ideas with them. Good food is a global thing and I find that there is always something new and amazing to learn - I love it!

France and the whole of Europe have a great culture and an amazing history. Most important thing though is that people there know how to live! In America they've forgotten all about it. I'm afraid that the American culture is a disaster.
