I lead a very boring life.

Sunday evenings often feel like the weekend is over before it's even begun.

I listen to Radio 4 and put the iPod on shuffle. I like the randomness of, say, the Stones, then something from Nina Simone, Nick Drake or Bob Dylan.

It's funny, I listen to friends who talk about back when they were 14, eight, 16, whatever, as if it was yesterday. Me, I've no idea what I did. It's all a blur, I'm afraid.

In life we listen to other people. Listen with varying degrees of concentration and attention, right? Actors must learn to listen in a different way.

I didn't go to school much, so I taught myself what I knew from reading.

Little details have special talents in creating big problems!

One thing about the past. It's likely to last.

Democrats are unified under the premise of total political annihilation.
