There's a part of me that still hates everything, and my natural view default setting is still very cynical and dark

Most of the Communists I knew were nice people.

I liked 35 and in both my novels that is the age of the lead characters. I tried making them my age but they just seemed to keep moaning about stuff.

Honestly, sometimes I get really fed up of my subconscious - it's like it's got a mind of its own.

I feel sorry for many politicians we expect them to be completely consistent and moralised when we're not.

Even a blind dog can find a bone every so often.

It seems easier to make a career out of comedy now than it was in the 1980s.
