“Since turning 40 I happily moisturise - I have what's called a regime ...” — Derren Brown Quote

Since turning 40 I happily moisturise - I have what's called a regime - but I'm always in two minds because I have no idea if I'm completely wasting my money. They feel nice when they are on but I can't stop wondering, 'Am I succumbing to the same nonsense I try to fight against in other areas?'

So I don't really suffer too badly from fears - I'm quite happy to engender them in other people though!

Magic should get under people's skins.

It used to frustrate me when I'd get celebrities on my shows and I had to meet them as this ludicrous magician character rather than as myself.

When we find ourselves in groups or with charismatic individuals, we might do things we wouldn't ordinarily do.

I'd rather be happily single than unhappily married.

When I think of my version of a role model, it's not about being the perfect Samaritan; it's just being out there and being honest and happily imperfect.

Better to marry unhappily 100 times than to live happily forever in sin.

I live on my own, happily, and I've never wanted children, but it did occur to me one day that there's part of me in 'Torak' - he's a loner, I'm a loner - as there's part of me in 'Renn,' who's quite waspish. I think, in some senses, 'Torak' is the son I never had.

We Brazilians, happily or unhappily, leave a lot to the last minute.
