I am the only living person in the English speaking world who didn't have the Narnia books as a child.
Once in awhile you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look it right
Not everybody gets a home slam; not everybody gets home events. I am part of a very select few who get that opportunity, so I can only really be grateful for that.
When I speak to my dad and my wife, and friends, they say it's 10 years at West Ham, you're leading the team out every week, when you sit back and really think about it, it's very rare.
It's a rare and special feeling to ride a racehorse.
When I love a book, I really love a book. You don't get that very often.
I can honestly say [that writing] is the best life there is, because you get to live within the realm of your own mind, and that is a profoundly rare human privilege.
Travelling expands the mind rarely.
I had 30-something years' experience in modeling, which is rare.
I'm so grateful to grab hold of something that wants to be a play. It doesn't happen very often. I don't have unwritten plays waiting for their turn.
In reality, genuine epiphanies are extremely rare. In contemporary adult life maturation & acquiescence to reality are gradual processes. Modern usage usually deploys epiphany as a metaphor. It is usually only in dramatic representations, religious iconography, and the 'magical thinking' of children that insight is compressed to a sudden blinding flash.
A picture was once a rare sort of symbol, rare enough to call for attentive concentration. Now it is the actual experience that is rare, and the picture has become ubiquitous.

Well, I think first it was rare for me to do anything that had any kind of a romantic note to it.
I knew even then how rare that kind of love is. Only the luckiest people get to experience it at all.
It's quite rare to be in something that you would love to watch as well.
I had never done a 90-minute play with no intermission, so it is a bit like you get onto the train and you don't get off until it's over - and it's over very quickly, so don't miss a moment of it. That experience is very rare and specific so don't miss a minute, because there aren't very many minutes of it.
I was working with real artists [in the Rum Diary], and that's difficult to do and very rare, in this industry, ironically.
'Game of Thrones' is so unique, and the odds that any of us involved will be in another show like it are very slim, so I'm enjoying the ride.
Acting with your mom? It's not something you get to do very often.
In a universe of ambiguity, this kind of certainty comes only once, and never again, no matter how many lifetimes you live.
Any feeling that I was enriching my mind from those surrounding me was unfortunately rare with me.
It is with true love as it is with ghosts; everyone talks about it, but few have seen it.
This kind of certainty comes but just once in a lifetime!
That's the ideal meeting...once upon a time, only once, unexpectedly, then never again.
