From a drop of water a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic or a Niagara without having seen or heard of one or the other. Arthur Conan Doyle
You know that everyone thinks that in order to do South Park we must be wild, crazy, rock and roll stars. But the truth is we're just wholesome middle-American guys. We enjoy soda pop, baseball and beating up old people just as much as anybody. Trey Parker

I don't know what my limitations are until I reach them. I look for the challenge. Joseph Fiennes
I endured quite a few injuries when I was younger and had my first surgery on my foot when I was 15. But I love dancing. 'Anna Karenina' was great for me as it meant I could combine the two and I actually went back and did some classes. Alicia Vikander
