To be bothered wherever you go - it's not a rational thing to want at all.
You have to be ill if you want to get better.
As much as the next person, I want to be approved of, but I'm not greedy for that stuff.
It's a very dangerous state. You are inclined to recklessness and kind of tune out the rest of your life and everything that's been important to you. It's actually not all that pleasurable. I don't know who the hell wants to get in a situation where you can't bear an hour without somebody's company.
The sheer level of fascination on the subject is really a symptom of how this issue affects people, particularly women who are in utter disbelief that anyone would consciously go the other way -- to actually try to gain weight,
is that it is like Hamlet. If you thought about who had played it before, you'd never play Hamlet again.
I was not quite as gracious as Mark Darcy about wearing what my mother tried to make me wear. It tended to stop really, when I was quite young.
In this case it appealed to me partly because it felt close to me in some ways. This is about a confused, bewildered middle class Englishman adrift in smalltown America and that has definitely been me.

My parents and grandparents have always been engaged in teaching or the medical profession or the priesthood, so I've sort of grown up with a sense of complicity in the lives of other people, so there's no virtue in that; it's the way one is raised.
On his fight scene with Hugh Grant in Bridget Jones: It was a delicious experience.
It used to be that I was always paranoid or a loser or something so there's usually something that you seem to associate yourself with at one time or another.
The last thing I would attempt to do is to buy clothes for a child I didn't know well.
