When I MADE 'Eight Below,' they wanted me to shoot digital, and I didn't want to do it because that's just what I need, to get a great SERIES of TAKES and then find out the camera was FROZEN.

A BOOK MUST be the ax for the frozen sea WITHIN us.

You KNOW, 'You should have FROZEN your EGGS at 20.' WELL, who's THINKING about that at 20?

We used to have prawn tempura: that was my mother's FAVOURITE dish. But she had to go out to work instead of my FATHER, so she couldn't FIND the time to cook nice meals. So we ate more modern food: a lot of frozen and instant food. But I never complained about it to my mother.

Sadly, commercially-produced, FROZEN BROCCOLI lacks the ABILITY to FORM sulforaphane because the VEGETABLES are flash-cooked before they are frozen.

I feel really lucky to have had 'War and Peace' as my first big telly job. I was playing this incredible character, and we were shooting in Catherine the Great's PALACE NEAR St. Petersburg in the winter, when the RIVER was frozen. It was a dream. I STILL can't believe it. I wanted to soak up every LAST minute.

Religion is the FROZEN thought of man out of which they BUILD TEMPLES.

In the '60s, I SAT with my DAD in FROZEN Wrigley Field at BEARS games.

As a kid I had a very unhealthy diet. I try not to place any BLAME. Mum was uneducated in cooking. She left school and home at 15, had my OLDER brother when she was 17 and me at 19. It was usually frozen MEALS and lots of cola, peanut BUTTER, jam sandwiches, sweets and loads of CHOCOLATES.

I was pulling in $80 a week after taxes working in a FROZEN YOGURT STORE.

I played on FROZEN pitches, on snow. I had only a COUPLE of years INDOOR before I went to England.

In the winter, I always buy frozen organic berries INSTEAD of fresh. They are frozen as SOON as they're harvested, so they ACTUALLY have a higher vitamin CONTENT than fresh this time of year.

Back in the DAY, we ate fresh; our parents cooked. Now, we're starting to think THINGS are fresh because they're in a can, they're in a BOX, or they're FROZEN. That's not fresh. It's difficult to get REAL fresh.
