I spent my childhood scrambling round badgers and foxes and playing fantastic country kid games like knocking on people's doors and running away. God that was a good game.

I'm a vegetarian, I'm not strict. I eat fish. And duck, but they're nearly fish aren't they.

I am a confectionery-based existentialist.

If you have enough money to be comfortable it makes life a lot easier and that's undeniable. But I think happiness is more elusive.

A horse walks into a bar, and the barman says "Why the long face?". The horse replies: "I'm deeply troubled by the anthropomorphic aspects of my existence and the extent to which I am now protected by law."

I'm sort of like a post-modern vegetarian; I eat meat ironically.

So many beautiful things, I cannot possess them all!
