I do think it's perfectly natural and human to want to invest belief in something. It's just a facet of who we are. What do I believe in? I believe in the obvious things. The people I'm close to and my work - it's not complicated.

In the same way, there is some creature gnawing away inside of me, urging me to do things in different ways.

The truth is that I'm constitutionally incapable of doing an ordinary job.

I have a very low level of recognition, which is fine by me.

I quite fancy the 1940s. I like the trams and the trousers.

I wouldn't be in a huge hurry to go back to Kansas. It was just bizarre. There's a lot of very, very heavy set people who believe in whatever they were told, because they didn't seem to get out very much or be interested in leaving where they were. They just didn't seem that curious, and I find that a little hard to deal with.

When did you ever hear of a child not in need? 'Oh that's enough jam tart for me, I'll just go now and clean the toilets.'
