I value being able to go into a record shop and people leaving me alone.

The one thing I've found is that someone always knows more than you do, including your babies. There are loads of things people presume I know about that I don't.

I can spot someone with similar fashion sense to me a mile off.

I like the idea of not everything happening between two human beings to be everyone's property.

Why does everyone have to pretend to be stupid and not know long words?

Every actor is riddled with insecurity, of course. But weirdly, I don't really find that I'd be daunted with taking on roles or anything.

I love that pre-mod jazz look of the late Fifties, the Steve McQueen style that influenced the British modernists.
