I've always prided myself on my discipline as a writer. I do it like a job. I get up in the morning and go to my desk.
My house is very clean apart from a very small part of it that looks as if we've been burgled, which is my office.
Evil' is quite a blanket term. People aren't the demonic characters we would like them to be sometimes.
I couldn't think of anything worse than going to a fancy dress party. So, if somebody invited me to one, I'd go as the Invisible Man and not turn up.
I've got a great family and a beautiful house. I feel very lucky as far as my lifestyle is concerned. I'm not really interested in fame and all its trappings.
All my good friends are actors, really. It's different when you have a family, but they're still the people I meet most often. My best friend is Ian Hart, but then I've known him since I was five.
I think I’m quite a lazy person, actually. If I’m not careful, I could just stay in bed all day.
You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open.
If you cannot come to the party, do not cancel at the last minute or give a message to a child to inform the host. And don't bother explaining why you can't attend because anything after 'because' is bullshit.
I pretty much stay true to myself and try to find the good in people and not be snarky.
The great lesson is, that unity is behind all. Call it God, Love, Spirit. Allah, Jehovah - it is the same unity that animates all life from the lowest animal to the noblest man.
