I have a daughter, and fairies meant a lot to her growing up.

As a general thing, I've always been drawn to characters who appear to be one thing on the surface, but are actually something else underneath.

My chief gifts are - naturally good at all sports with a raw talent for pretty much everything, which if nurtured could develop into improper talent.

Although my family - parents and sister - all work in the personnel management business, their real passion is performing, amateur operatic societies and so on.

Everyone deserves compassion.

I find increasingly that the more extreme are the things going on in your life, the more cultural reference points fail you. More mythical reference points actually help, and you realize that's what myths are for. It's for human beings to process their experience in extremis.

I love watching Jeff Bridges act. He's brilliant.
