I enjoy learning about different periods and people, and then taking what's universal about the human condition and seeing where it matches up. No matter where you are, certain things unite everybody.

It is always good to explore the stuff you don't agree with, to try and understand a different lifestyle or foreign worldview. I like to be challenged in that way, and always end up learning something I didn't know.

I had learning disabilities, and I couldn't express myself in the written word.

If there's one thing that I've done on purpose it's to take whatever job, so long as it's interesting and challenging, whether it's theatre, radio, TV or film.

Tis the privilege of friendship to talk nonsense, and have her nonsense respected.

God has placed no limits to the exercise of the intellect he has given us, on this side of the grave.

Friendship is mutual blackmail elevated to the level of love.

All advocacy is, at its core, an exercise in empathy.
