George Harrison's passing was really sad, but it does make the afterlife seem much more attractive.

I am certainly more interested in interviewing than being interviewed. Sometimes you find yourself attacked from the start.

All I ask of food is that it doesn't harm me.

It was a strange feeling going into a church I did not know for a service that I did not really believe in, but once inside I couldn't help a feeling of warmth and security. Outside there were wars and road accidents and murders, striptease clubs and battered babies and frayed tempers and unhappy marriages and people contemplating suicide and bad jokes, but once in St. Martin's there was peace.
