• I heard my first laughter on stage, when I was about 10 years old. It was gold pantomime and I remember I was playing Baron Fitznoodle, who was the father of the ugly sisters in "Cinderella." And I walked on and got a great big laugh and I thought that was fantastic, until I looked down and found that my flies were open. And so I always check my flies. I even check my flies on radio.

• It was really hurtful to me. I get so much mail from young girls who say, 'I look up to you, you're not as skinny as everyone else, I think you're beautiful.' So when they say that my body is 'ugly' and 'disgusting,' what does that make those girls feel like?

• Rest forever, tired heart.
  The final illusion has perished.
  The one we believed eternal is gone.
  Just like that. Out the door desire
  follows hope. Rest forever.
  Enough throbbing. Nothing deserves your attention
  nor is the earth worth a sigh.
  Bitterness and boredom is life,
  nothing else ever, and the world is mud.
  Quiet now. Despair for the last time.
  Fate gives us dying as a gift.
  Now turn from the hills, the ugly hidden power
  which rules for the common evil
  and the infinite vanity of it all.

  Giacomo Leopardi

• It was as if personality itself had a 'face'. This non-physical face of personality seemed to be the real key to personality change. It remained scarred, distorted, 'ugly' or inferior the person himself acted out this role in his behaviour regardless of the changes in physical appearance. If this 'face of personality' could be reconstructed, if old emotional scars could be removed, then the person himself changed, even without facial plastic surgery.

• There is an ugly kind of forgiveness in this world,--a kind of hedgehog forgiveness, shot out like quills.
