The truth is, I don't have any problem with journalists - I count some of them as friends - also some of my heroes are journalists, I'm a big fan of Robert Fisk - great people or crazy people who are prepared to stand up for what's right.

I'm definitely not satisfied about my career. I don't know how you can be, it's the very nature of things.

I'm quite good at leaning against a bar.

My mother gave me a real kick toward cooking, which was that if I wanted to eat, I'd better know how to do it myself.

I'd like to see (the films) go back to the books. I think (the films) need to be dirtier. I think that you should feel the man playing Bond could die at any moment. You don't feel that any more.

When you read a novel, your own imagery is the most important. It's what makes reading such a wonderful thing.

I've always retained my privacy, but now I protect it even more.
