You don't get anything done by planning
I know when I was a kid I ate a beetle. I ate a beetle because I thought it was licorice.
I say have the night and give people the awards, but why do people want to watch people win awards? What are they getting out of it? I don't quite get it. Because they have awards all the time; there's awards for butchers, the best meat served, but they don't televise it. I don't know why they do it for films or TV programs.
People eat duck and you think, well, we've got loads of chickens, leave the ducks alone!
I've never thought about it before, but I suppose bad people might need someone to pray to, too.
I've got loads of nieces and nephews.
I've never understood the 'things to do before you die' idea. If I was ill, I'd be in no mood to have a swim with a dolphin.
Being honest with you, it's not the 'great' wall of China. It's an all right wall. It's the 'All Right Wall of China.'
I've never won many awards, I didn't get certificates for swimming or anything.
I don't know what the future is, but you just do it whilst it's there, don't you?
I found that being with happy positive people annoys me.
The Web is the new book though, innit?
How would I know which one I was?
If you don't sleep you get run down. Sloths never get a flu, cos its good innit thats when your body's replemishing
