If you over-think, it affects things too much; I work instinctively, like painting in a way. Think too much, and you ruin everything.

I've done signings where elderly people will line up to get photos with me and ask me to sign things. They don't even pretend it's for their grandkids. They're like, "No, it's for me."

It's pretty awful being told you're a racist.

You can't get any better than TV on HBO, ABC and BBC3.

I'm not really a management-type person. It doesn't suit my personality to be bossing people around.

I'm definitely attracted to the idea of people that have these big aspirations that the audience know might never happen, but they're lost in them.

Religious humor is not really my area, so I probably wouldn't do anything about that, or politics or something.
