The stuff that I have perhaps become known for that's based on fact, and English statesmen shouting at each other all the time, doesn't entirely represent who I am. I am not a politics wonk.

The real beauty in my professional experience has been friendships and collaborations with filmmakers.

I read nonfiction. There's very little fiction that I enjoy enough to spend my time reading. I am generally a nonfiction guy.

As we go through life our relationship with our own mortality and our inevitable demise increases.

It's really a lovely feeling to write knowing that failure is taken off the table because if it's bad you just never show it to anyone.

I'm always pre-occupied with what it is that I'm doing at the moment.

I never go back over something I've done and I never watch them again.
