Building your own home is about desire, fantasy. But it's achievable; anyone can do it.

I'm not too fond of really cool design. I've got quite kitsch taste really, in things like tableware. I'm quite a sucker for 1930s pressed glass.

I like the absurd and the surreal: the Coen brothers, Bunuel, Kubrick.

I have a recurring nightmare that I wake up in a gutter with nothing. I've had it all my life. That's why I work, I think.

Awesome is loud but awe is quiet.

I've got a farm in Somerset, and I think it's God's own country. I love it.

Generally speaking, I think that if you do anything with commitment and passion, it will come good.
