The truth is I quite like to dress in jeans and a woolly jumper.
The thing about Iran is there are many political factions and it's not quite the dictatorial, authoritarian state with one person always making every single decision.
Sometimes I feel quite distinctly that what is inside me is not all of me. There is something else, sublime, quite indestructible, some tiny fragment of the Universal spirit. Don't you feel that?
It's been a long blessed career. I've been riddled with injuries the past two and a half years and haven't been able to quite compete as I'm accustomed to. At this point, I just really want to enjoy it and put it all on the line when I'm out there.
Watching Life on Mars was quite frightening for me because dipping in and out of reality was quite like myself

Solitary and farouche people don't have relationships; they are quite unrelatable.
The dog has behaved himself quite well all day, and the show is doing fantastically well in the ratings. . . I have no reason to be sad!
Dirk turned on the car wipers, which grumbled because they didn't have quite enough rain to wipe away, so he turned them off again. Rain quickly speckled the windscreen. He turned on the wipers again, but they still refused to feel that the exercise was worthwhile, and scraped and squeaked in protest.
