It's HARD to SLEEP at NIGHT because I'm STILL WONDERING where my mother is.

If I'm feeling DESPERATE, I'll GO out image-hunting. I'll go to news agents and stand at the rack flicking through magazines or go to second-hand bookshops. And then, bit by bit, like concrete poetry, I START to REALISE that I am drawn to particular things, and then I start wondering why that is.

I might find myself STANDING, transfixed, by the roadside, watching a sparrowhawk hunting among the bushes, astonished that other people COULD ignore it. But they might just as well be wondering how I could have failed to notice the NEW V6 Pentastar Sahara that just drove past.

I think the hardest thing about being an ACTOR is between jobs when you don't know and wondering if you'll ever work again. It's KIND of a crazy BUSINESS.

When I CAME to NEW York, I BEGAN to meet the people who became the most famous artists of our time. I was insecure about my own level of ABILITY, I didn't know whether I could compete with these people and, at the same time. I was wondering what is this anyway?

I think there's a LOT of naivete and hubris within our mix of PERSONALITIES. That's probably our WORST crime. I keep WONDERING what a 'mature' RECORD means.

There's probably a LOT of PEOPLE WONDERING if I can PLAY.

If I spent my time wondering about what genre I wanted to be in or where I was on the charts, I wouldn't be ABLE to WRITE these KINDS of song. I'd be too busy doing other THINGS.

If I had done what I was programmed to do, I would now be SITTING in a car FACTORY looking at the sizes of wheels, or wondering how to get CREDIT to start a new factory in RUSSIA.

I'm married now, but back when I had girlfriends, you were always wondering if they LIKED you, and if you liked them ENOUGH. You're together, but the smallest THING could MAKE one of you go 'You know what? This isn't working!'

I was with my DAD 20 years ago as he was DYING. I was there at the moment of his DEATH, and I kept wondering the whole while what it must feel like from his point of VIEW to still be there thinking, hearing all that was going on as PEOPLE came and went, and life continued all around him.

Your first SIX MONTHS in the Senate, you spend a LOT of time WONDERING how the HELL you got here. After that, you look around at your colleagues and wonder how the hell any of them got here.

When I played God BLESS The Queen, I was wondering if they was gonna dig us, then quite naturally I'd GO on and try to get it together.

The thing about Birmingham is, no one spends their evening LOOKING over your SHOULDER THINKING: 'Is that Nick Grimshaw?' and wondering if there's a BETTER night they could be on. Because there isn't.
