I love my childhood. It was a beautiful childhood.
Every experience has its element of magic.
Through these years, I have attempted to create magical moments between my characters because, be it television or films, life is about the moments we create while living through it.
The Art of Fulfillment is the ability to experience not only the thrill of the chase, but also the magic of the moment, the unbridled joy of feeling truly alive.

I have yet to find something that beats the power of being in love, or the power of music at its most magical.
We used to indulge hopelessly as a family at Christmas. When the children were little, I dressed up as Father Christmas. They knew it was a gag, but they loved it. I remember stealing into their bedrooms at 1 A.M. and filling the stockings up at the end of the bed.
Disney was, like, such an amazing experience always for me, such a huge part of my life.
Everything, everything seemed once-upon-a-time.
I like the world we've got. If there is anything special and magical, I have to find it in the ordinary stuff.
Probably my first memory of theatre, the first one I guess that had an impact on me was when I saw my very first panto with my Primary School. I think just going there and experience that for the first time, being so young, it's something that's actually stuck with me right up until now. And to think back and to sort of remember that magic and that first little hint of it was brilliant.

Before my first child was born, I had nothing going on professionally really, and it's been a very blessed period of creativity for me since he arrived. It's very surreal. It's almost as if the babies are out there pulling strings somewhere, deciding what kind of life they want to be born into.
I miss aspects of being in the Arab world - the language - and there is a tranquility in these cities with great rivers. Whether it's Cairo or Baghdad, you sit there and you think, 'This river has flown here for thousands of years.' There are magical moments in these places.
Candy is childhood, the best and bright moments you wish could have lasted forever.
Shivers up and down my spine It's a feeling so divine Let me go back for a while Got to go back for a while To that magic time.
The best player I've ever played with was Paul Gascoigne. He had everything. He was amazing.
I think, the 'Van Dyke Show' and 'Mary Poppins' are two of the best periods of my life. I had so much fun, I didn't want it to end.
