I'm not clean or even vaguely pleasant to be around in a domestic situation.

I suppose whenever you go through periods of transition, or in a way, it's a very definite closing of a certain chapter of your life. I suppose those times are always going to be both very upsetting and also very exciting by the very nature because things are changing and you don't know what's going to happen.

I feel very English in a suit. There's something about being in a suit abroad, particularly in America, that feels empowering.

I'm thrilled of the acceptance I get abroad. The people are so hearty, warm and grateful and I feel privileged having seen so many countries and some of the greatest monuments.

As an artist, you have a path that you're on that evolves with the kinds of stories you want to tell.

I'm an atheist, but I'm very relaxed about it. I don't preach my atheism, but I have a huge amount of respect for people like Richard Dawkins who do.

How irritating it must be for people, to be bombarded with me!
