I reckon domesticated cats have a pretty good life.

I think I have a degree of confidence, but I also have terrible insecurity, like anybody does.

I was quite a shy child – not chronically, but I tended to blend into the background.

I don't think anyone can walk through the world in a state of vulnerability all the time, can they?

Even today, England is a very repressed, repressive country, and there's pressure to be kind of a certain way, so people do things that ultimately make them sad.

I always feel I am in the dark. You are never finished... it is not as if you can look back and think: ah... I know what I am talking about. You are only as good as your last job and are always struggling and striving and you never quite get to where you want to be.

I find it really hard to say anything coherent or interesting about the work I do.
