I trained in the theatre.

That survival instinct, that will to live, that need to get back to life again, is more powerful than any consideration of taste, decency, politeness, manners, civility. Anything. It's such a powerful force.

It's a good place when all you have is hope and not expectations.

I love that sense of change that you'd get in pop music every three minutes, every four minutes.

I've sort of escaped my background, as people often do, through art and culture.

If you love a book you tend not to follow its surface value, you follow the other things in it.

I always think, when there's stuff that people don't like, I always say that if I have another success, I'll enjoy it more, but you don't really.
