There's so much in the 21st century that is stymied by bureaucracy and mediocrity and committee.

I tell my wife all my secrets.

I just increasingly enjoy the quiet moments when I can be on my own with my friends and family, or with a book, having a live experience. That's really what I crave, and I always have done.

This is an odd profession, and sometimes people get jealous, but I haven't really experienced any of that. Everyone's been really happy for me, which is really, really great.

I am a PR disaster because I talk too much.

I genuinely don't know Julian Assange well. To authenticate an opinion, I really would have to meet him.

I'm interested in art for all. I don't want it to be only the sons and daughters of Tory MPs who get to see my plays.
