When there are things that don't go according to plan, London will cope.

I've had a couple breakdowns.

I have always been of the belief that whatever the conditions, you just crack on with it.

When I first started acting, I was just crap.

Bear the Cross cheerfully and it will bear you.

My rookie year was huge for me as far as the learning curve, especially those last three games.

I work with a host of amazing women who act as role models, who give their spare time freely to encourage these girls to give things a go, to reach out and take a chance and to explain that should they fail, well that's just a part of life.

I wasn't the tallest kid when I was little.

True greatness comes not when things go always good for you; but true greatness comes when you are really tested, when you have taken some knocks, faced some disappointments, when sadness comes. Because only if you have been in the deepest valley, can you ever know how magnificent it is to be atop the highest mountain.

The thing is, the only real sign of life is growth. And growth requires pain. So to choose life is to accept pain.

It is often during the worst of times that we see the best of humanity—awakening within the most ordinary of us that which is most sublime. I do not believe that it is circumstance that produces such greatness any more than it is the canvas that makes the artist. Adversity merely presents the surface on which we render our souls' most exacting likeness. It is in the darkest skies that stars are best seen.

We can spend our days bemoaning our losses, or we can grow from them. Ultimately the choice is ours. We can be victims of circumstance or masters of our own fate, but make no mistake, we cannot be both. The Walk - Epilogue Page 288
