My dad was quite a forbidding figure. I realise now that that was mainly because he worked so hard. He wasn't unkind, but he was a presence.
I'm a great believer in the beauty and the power of surprise.
I prefer sneaking in the back door.
I love the Shakespeare history plays, I love the struggle for the crown as a plot.
All pleasure should be a little bent, don't you think?
One man's fish is another man's poisson.
