The great irony to Dirk [Gently] is that he sees connections in everything, but the one thing he fails and struggles with most is connecting with other people.

[Dirk Gently] just doesn't understand social cues.

[Elijah Wood] has got such a broad outlook. It's so much bigger than just the acting industry.

With music, it feels natural that, in my head, I can pull things apart and then put them back together very quickly.

Beauty makes one lose one's head. Poetry is born of this decapitation

And if ye angler take fysshe; surely thenne is there noo man merier than he is in his spyryte.

I was influenced by European movies, old Fellini, old Kurosawa - any sort of foreign film.
