Stephen Fry // "We are not nouns, we are verbs. I am not a thing...an actor, a writer...I am a person who does things...I write, I act...and I never know what I'm going to do next. I think you can be imprisoned if you think of yourself as a noun."

Zadie Smith // "If novelists know anything it’s that individual citizens are internally plural: they have within them the full range of behavioral possibilities. They are like complex musical scores from which certain melodies can be teased out and others ignored or suppressed, depending, at least in part, on who is doing the conducting. At this moment, all over the world—and most recently in America—the conductors standing in front of this human orchestra have only the meanest and most banal melodies in mind... But there is no place on earth where they have not been played at one time or another. Those of us who remember...a finer music must try now to play it, and encourage others, if we can, to sing along."

Bruce Lee // "When one has reached maturity...one will have a formless form. It is like ice dissolving into water. When one has no form, one can be all forms; when one has no style, he can fit in with any style."

Audrey Tautou // "I am untamed. I don’t like to be squeezed into the system and I don’t like superficial conversation. I am very bad with that. I don’t have the talent to talk for nothing."
