You try to make characters you care about, and I think realism helps. Even though this is a high concept, the characters have got to be real.

To complain about critics in a business is like a sailor complaining about the waves. Go back to the beach if you don't like it.

People see me, and they see the suit, and they go: "you're not fooling anyone", they know I'm rock and roll through and through. But you know that old thing, live fast, die young? Not my way. Live fast, sure, live too bloody fast sometimes, but die young? Die old. That's the way- not orthodox, I don't live by "the rules" you know.

People have let me down in the past. I've loved something, and it's become a disgrace. I'd rather start again.

Suggesting I hate people with religion because I hate religion is like suggesting I hate people with cancer because I hate cancer.

I can't stand it. I can't stand someone being embarrassed. I don't know why. If someone slips over and the first thing they do is look around, I pretend I haven't seen it.

I'm basically a 'do unto others' type person. I don't have any religious feelings because I'm an atheist, but I live my life like there's a God. And if there was he'd probably love me.
