I'm miserable: that's why I have such a bad back, because I'm endlessly stressing out about my career.

I did a couple of films, I was very lucky at the beginning of my career... and then, I never had another job here for ten years probably and I moved to Europe.

I loved looking at myself when I was very photogenic, at the very beginning of my career.

I'm not really a political animal but I am rather fascinated by the meltdown of England and America. In the end, it seems as if America might come out of it, but I'm not sure if England is ever going to recover.

When I was growing up, everybody in charge, my parents and teachers, had all survived the war, and they talked about the war like it was the Kraken - you know, this huge beast that roamed the earth during their formative years.

Broad-mindedness is related to tolerance; open-mindedness is the sibling of peace.

Pakistan is a peace-loving, democratic country.

Journalism took me around the world. I worked in London for ten years and reported on the collapse of the Soviet Union, the troubles in Northern Ireland, and the first Gulf War.
