I found myself in the changed man theory the other night thinking, "Yeah." I thought, "My god. If we could do this again," but there was nothing specific there. There's just the kind of vague sensation of how I'd like it to go. I allowed myself that gift to think that.

Sometimes you take time off, and then you look around and you go, "Hello. What happened? Oh dear!"

Love is just the most beautiful, joyous feeling. It can come from many places.

America gave me the great glory of coming into people's homes every week and allowed me to last as long as I have.

I love movies, don't get me wrong. But I don't go to the cinema. I see movies at the end of the year as a glut from the Academy. I binge-watch all the nominated films. Painting fills that void now. It's oils. It's acrylics. It's figurative, portraits and landscape.

This man called President Bush has a lot to answer for. I don't know if this man is really taking care of America. This government has been shameful.

I love these kind of movies as a kind of cinema-going geek myself. Those characters, you want to be like those characters when you go to the movies. You know, when you see a movie with a guy who's really cool and the killing's slick and easy. I don't know. There's something intoxicating about it.
