Men look at breasts the way women look at babies. 'Aw, isn't that lovely?'

We are both drawn to surreal situations so the writing was a joy.

It's true that I have spoken about doing a book before, but then everyone you speak to is planning to write a book.

Everybody does that now. We all take pics... you do the same with holiday photos. You record something to look back on it, even though you’re not really there when you’re taking the picture 'cause you’re too busy recording it; so you retrospectively go to look back on where you weren’t and tell yourself you had a good time.

I always try to address where I am. I'll talk to the people and try to find out what it is about that particular place that makes it distinct from everywhere else.
