I should have the courage of my lack of convictions.

You think human nature is a beast, that it must be put in a cage. But it's the cage that makes the animal bad.

The fact is, I loved being English. I was very happy to be turned into an English schoolboy.

The names for things don't come first. Words stagger after, hopelessly trying to become the sensation.

My scripts are possibly too talkative.

Never believe in mirrors or newspapers.

I still believe that if your aim is to change the world, journalism is a more immediate short-term weapon.
