I like the absurd and the surreal: the Coen brothers, Bunuel, Kubrick.
The thing that I champion is sustainability. My terror is that suddenly we see it as a luxury, not an essential. That's a danger.
My favourite authors include Trollope and Dickens.
I spend a frightening amount of money on books.
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.
I don't enjoy living in a white box flooded with light. I like shadows, small spaces, old furniture.
