Most of all I don't want to be bored. That's why I'd rather do something that has some sort of ambition, that risks failing, rather than make safer, more comfortable choices.

A friend of mine once said he like his women like his parmesan: strong smelling and shaved. I don't agree with that, but I don't like hairy women.

Guide dogs for the blind. It's cruel really, isn't it? Getting a dog to lead a man round all day. Not fair on either of them.

I did not become successful in my work through embracing or engaging in celebrity culture. I never signed away my privacy in exchange for success.

The important thing is not to be defined by what others think of you.

I try to not make safe choices, but I also like to do stuff which is interesting and is sort of exciting in some way and accessible.

Hacking into a victim of crime's phone is a sort of poetically elegant manifestation of a modus operandi the tabloids have.
