I'm going to sleep well tonight knowing that I made the right decision.

While I have served in public office for 30 years, my professional training is as a pharmacist, not a lawyer or an accountant.

Our capital system is haunted by the demon of error: error in determining guilt and error in determining who among the guilty deserves to die. What effect was race having? What effect was poverty having?

I support the death penalty. But I also think there has to be no margin for error.

You can lose people without them dying, and I have, from moving, from traveling. The emotion is real, it just doesn't actually have to do with death. I'm singing about what I know, and it's a song about longing for somebody who's disappeared in your life.

I did become quite well known from 'Four Weddings and a Funeral', and it helped hugely. I wasn't as famous as Hugh Grant, but I certainly began to work.

We have a lot of fear around death, and I thought maybe I can help somebody... I want people to be less scared.

We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.
