"Now I know how Joan of Arc felt."

-- Steven Morrissey

“I should like to make films that are not lowering to the spirit. A new building can be very harrowing, I should like to give people a chance to whistle.”
“Theater is not to make a living, so I don't have the money pressure.”
“Often a healing takes place in ourselves as we pray for the healing of others.”
“The truth is I was Labor's last immigration minister and you have a right to hear directly from me about what that job involved, the choices that involved and how that lends us to think very carefully when we use words like 'compassion, [that] we actually know the exact context.”
“When you approach a problem, strip yourself of preconceived opinions and prejudice, assemble and learn the facts of the situation, make the decision which seems to you to be the most honest, and then stick to it.”
“Tactics, fitness, stroke ability, adaptability, experience, and sportsmanship are all necessary for winning.”
“I do think that the instant nature of the reaction now, I do think it has an effect, that people's instant reactions to things are valid and valuable. But they're not always right, and they're not always capturing the full reality.”
