I’ve always been a big consumer of American journalism over the years and had an interest in the history of it and of the press in America; how it has changed.

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

You know it's a sad day when your child looks at you and asks 'Daddy, are these organic?'

I get a phone call once every 18 months from some mad person who wants me to do something for less than no money and they give me about a week's notice. That's my film career, most of the time.

Don't do it! Stay away from your potential. You'll mess it up, it's potential, leave it. Anyway, it's like your bank balance - you always have a lot less than you think.

You can see desperation in people who are too eager to laugh because they're in such a hurry not to look at what's confronting them in their lives and that's kind of sad because there's a kind of pornographic aspect to it, of making some sort of pain go away, of hovering around a pain, making yourself numb, not feel anything.
