There’s no reason for men to be better at maths than women – it’s just about our perception.
I use a stylist, which wasn’t something I imagined I’d ever do, because I like shopping, but because we prerecord ‘Countdown,’ I don’t want to wear something that everyone has from the high street by the time the programme goes out.
It’s always flattering when you get compliments, but it’s more of a measure of who you are at the time than anything else.
When I was at uni, our whole college bar would gather around the quiz machine for a few games every night.
We go to the banya, the Russian spa. And you go into the sauna, which is really hot, much hotter than a normal sauna, and then they beat you with branches.

Pat Benatar was born Patricia Andrzejewski in Brooklyn and raised in suburban Lindenhurst, Long Island. Her mother, Millie, had sacrificed her own career as an opera singer to bring up Pat and her son, Andrew. Years later, it was Pat who sang classically, honing the powers of her 4.5-octave voice as a member of Lindenhurst High’s musical theater department. Having been accepted at Juilliard, Pat shocked friends and family by marrying her high-school sweetheart, Dennis T. Benatar, a soldier, and moving off to Virginia, where he had been stationed. Before long, the tedium of life as a housewife and bank teller proved too much for Pat, and she joined Coxon’s Army, a cabaret band on the Richmond club circuit. Coxon’s Army rose to new heights of fame, and Pat was instilled with the confidence to move to New York City and pursue her own dream, which brought her to Manhattan’s “Catch a Rising Star.”

We live and learn from our mistakes, the deepest cuts are healed by faith.
If at any moment of the day I ever think I’m remotely cool at all, which is hardly ever, I have two daughters who make sure that never happens.
The great times were never as great as they seem in the rearview mirror.
If you’re retired, it’s a blessing. You know, if you want to keep working and doing what you want to do, it’s not a blessing as all – it’s a curse.

A man once said when the legend gets bigger than the man, you’ve lost the man and you have an unrealistic picture.
I have said my philosophy – I’m a backyard philosopher, I guess – is that the dirtiest word in the English language is “retirement.”

There are a lot of difficult situations that lead to awkwardness.
In real life I’m very low-key. A wallflower. One of the reasons I went into comedy and acting was that I was sick of being shy.

The book is even quirkier, but it’s hard to bring all of that stuff to a movie. With a book, you use your imagination more and create your own way to make it all make sense.

For Joely, the theater must be in her genes. Born in Marylebone, London, England, she is the daughter of director Tony Richardson and Vanessa Redgrave, the granddaughter of Sir Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson, the niece of Lynn Redgrave, and the sister of Natasha Richardson, all actors. Former husband Tim Bevan is a producer. However, the genes were slow; as a child, she saw her older sister Natasha interested in acting, but she was imagining a career in tennis. Her father put his foot down, and tennis was out. British by birth, she considers herself a sort of honorary Yank, having attended boarding school at Thacher in Ojai, California. Beginning in the ’80s, film became her life, from small parts in Wetherby (1985) to BBC dramas such as Lady Chatterley (1993) to today’s Disney studio going to the dogs in 101 Dalmatians (1996).

You don’t get to choose how you’re going to die, or when. You can only decide how you’re going to live. Now.

With an uncanny ability to go from understated to over-the-top, seemingly with the flip of a switch, actor J.K. Simmons became an ever-present fixture in film and television via a tireless work ethic and nuanced performances. Although his early interest was primarily in musical composition, Simmons made a name for himself in the theater, not only as a vocalist but as an actor of merit. After a run of shows on Broadway and in touring productions, Simmons began making small appearances in films like “The Ref” (1994) and “The Scout” (1994). The talented actor was also landing parts on various television series, most notably two recurring, diametrically opposed characters appearing simultaneously on two different shows. On the brutal prison drama “OZ” (HBO, 1997–2003), Simmons played a white supremacist with frightening authenticity, while on “Law & Order” (NBC, 1990–2010), he was the embodiment of empathy and rationality as state psychiatrist Dr. Emil Skoda. While steadily gaining prominence in a variety of feature film work, Simmons landed the plum role of cantankerous tabloid editor J. Jonah Jameson in Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man” (2002), earning high marks from legions of comic book fans. In addition to reprising the part for the “Spider-Man” sequels, Simmons was seemingly everywhere, popping up in the films “Thank You for Smoking” (2006), “Juno” (2007), and “Burn After Reading” (2008). Transcending the category of character actor, Simmons became a welcome addition to any cast, ensuring a performance that was often affecting, frequently surprising, and always memorable. He unexpectedly made the move to mainstream stardom when his powerful performance in the drama “Whiplash” (2014) won him Best Supporting Actor awards at both the Golden Globes and the Oscars. Following that career high point, Simmons continued working steadily in films ranging from the family-friendly animated hit “Zootopia” (2016) to the tense Boston Marathon bombing drama “Patriots Day” (2016).
