I'm passionate again about writing. This is important to me; it's got to be the comeback book.

I am currently doing about 30 charity auctions a year.

I put £150,000 into the stage production of Grease and have got back £1.5 million so far. It has been a fantastic success.

While there may not be a book in every one of us, there is so often a damned good short story.

we all suffer in our different ways from being prisoners of birth.

War and Peace maddens me because I didn't write it myself, and worse, I couldn't.

A work of art is worth what someone will pay for it.
