This is the extraordinary thing about creativity: If just you keep your mind resting against the subject in a friendly but persistent way, sooner or later you will get a reward from your unconscious.

I've always called myself a writer/performer, not an actor because I basically write what I perform.

I would like to do my own eulogy, and then shoot myself and then get in the coffin.

I don't want to hurt people.

You go in and meet the head of BBC One and get an assurance about not dumbing down. And then, of course a few months later, he's been replaced by someone you haven't met.

I've always found life quite difficult to explain to people or to myself.

If you wish to kill yourself but lack the courage to, I think a visit to Palmerston North will do the trick.
