I like the transience of Klimt paintings.

I am lucky to be in a profession that is not age dependent.

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.

People come up to me in supermarkets and demand humour. And the less amusing I am, the more they piss themselves. So I say, "I'm doing my shopping, mate, OK?" and the guy will be on the floor in hysterics. Quite odd. Eventually I do have to say something funny so I usually go for something pathetic like, "It's a nice place to shop but I wouldn't like to live here!" and they roar again. Wet themselves. I'm lucky though that I am not massively famous, I can get the Tube without much bother. Must be awful being the Beckhams.

I woke with a start. At first I assumed I'd trumped myself awake again.

I don't want to go around making everyone else agree with me. I don't feel the need to do that.
