My father was an academic, an eccentric. He was a lecturer.

It's peaceful for people to know how their lives are going to be, pretty much.

My job now is to work hard and learn all I can.

I like writing letters and receiving letters. It's a shame that we've lost the art of letter-writing and saving correspondence. I mourn that.

I miss sometimes the buzz of America. A sense that anything can change at the drop of a hat. In a way, it's an exhausting thing to live with.

It's very tough when two creative people are together.

I don't believe in villains - just people who channel their energy in the wrong way.
