They handled it very badly. It was disappointing and very humiliating. John York was very rude. He never consulted with me over what he said to the press.

It's a comedy thriller, brilliantly written and it's full of twists and turns at every page. When I was reading it I was desperate to get to the end to find out what happens, it really hooks you.

I'm quite grateful to the BBC. They helped me back onto the touring circuit.

Tom is the most eccentric person I have ever worked with. We get on very well and I am most impressed with how he can hold an audience in the palm of his hand.

I never watch TV. I'm a Radio Four addict. I love listening to music too.

I think it's one of my favourite theatres ever, so quirky and wonderful and steeped in history. The space is wonderful and the acoustics are brilliant.

I cannot understate the ability to handle classical texts such as Shakespeare.

You can't do that, it makes too much sense.

To be loved is a strength. To love is a weakness.

The directing process is often a continuation of the writing. This is just a different skill-set.

Even when I haven't had money, I found money to travel. It's a luxury that's a kind of necessity, I think.

Just to keep up with population growth, on average our economy needs to be adding about 125,000 jobs per month.

A person cooking is a person giving. Even the simplest food is a gift.

Basically, nice guys can finish last.

The antidote for fear of failure is not success but small doses of failure.
