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.

There's never any graffiti in the hotel. Although in the Gents a couple of weeks ago I did see someone had drawn a lady's part. Quite detailed. The guy obviously had talent.

I think it's always funny when you see kids do Shakespeare.

I enjoy comedy but it can become wearisome.

What terrifies me is that I might somehow endorse that view so people think they don't have to read books anymore.

I've always been drawn to discomfort and that limbo of unease you get between comedy and tragedy.

If you chase something too desperately, it eludes you.
