I love working with young people, which is to me a big kick.

People're artists they're doing something, taking a hunk of chaps, giving it some order, some form, and presenting it saying here is my little song and dance, my chaos.

It was around 1985 before I heard the news of President Kennedy's assassination.

It's very inconvenient because every time I finish, let's say, a chapter of a book, I think I'm going to ring Richard and then realize: Oh, Christ, I've buried him. I buried him last year.

I'm a professional and I'll do anything - a poetry reading, television, cinema, anything that allows me to act.

Always a bridesmaid never a bride my foot!

It grieves us to produce work that is not perfect.
