We made the world uninhabitable for ourselves and it can only be inhabited by robots and androids.

Some people are easier to love when you don't have to be around them.

You're never going to get beyond other people's preconceptions of what you are and what you're about.

In America I think we need to move towards a social democracy, European-style basically, and I think that in Britain we do as well.

If the media is just a cheerleader for an authoritarian populist, who isn't that popular, then we're in a sorry state. The media has to be critical - it has to scrutinize it, it has to call out things.

I think the media in America have been absolutely fantastic about the rise of Trump, they've kept a firm eye on the ball: this constitutes democracy, this constitutes transparency, this constitutes fairness, this constitutes the way to behave in a civic society, this constitutes fascism, this constitutes authoritarianism. They're drawing that line, and they're calling him out every time. That's really what needs to happen, and you just have to do that.
