I'll read a book every now and then, but unlike most of my friends I don't always have one on the go.

I have just enough public appreciation to make me happy.

I grew up in the 1950s at the beginning of rock n' roll, and would strum a tennis racket in front of the mirror.

The key to a great story is not who, or what, or when, but why.

I live a very ordinary life. The rare awards ceremonies I go to are quite fun, because I can enjoy the irony of one minute walking to the tube, and the next being driven along the same stretch of road in a limo.

Even a good decision if made for the wrong reasons can be a wrong decision.

I know people whose entire lives are ruined by fame. If you make yourself exclusive, people want to break that down, but if you go about doing your shopping, no one bugs you.
