It took me so many years to move out. I'm definitely a bit of a Peter Pan, reluctant to grow up. It all seemed really nice at home-why change it? Part of me would prefer not to have any responsibility whatsoever.
Helena Bonham Carter

Whenever he saw a dollar in another man's hands he took it as a personal grudge, if he couldn't take it any other way.
