I don't have a saviour or a royal family.

I'm not a psychiatrist. I'm not treating patients.

I think probably when I was little, after my brother turned on me, I just had to play by myself or with myself. I've always done that. I think either it's some kind of weirdly competitive streak or it takes my mind off whatever's bothering me.

And may the best of you - for it will only be the best of you, and even then only in the rarest and briefest moments - succeed in framing that most basic of questions, 'how do we live?'

Of course it's trivial, but then most things are.

Unlike my grandfather or my brother, I've actually been able to make some money at a racetrack.

It never occurred to me to be an actor.
