There's nothing better than just staring at a buttercup, struggling to make an impact on the world.

I was a solicitor once, so I'm truly grateful because I know what it's like to have a proper job.

I worked in a chicken factory, in a steel foundry, I worked on the bins for a year or so. It started as a summer job, but I stayed on because I liked it very much. I liked it that it made you very fit, doing all the lifting and that, so I could wear short-sleeved t-shirts, which I'd never been able to do before!

I used to like getting cups and putting tiny bits of food and liquids in them. I'd grow mould plumes in the dark wardrobe of my little back bedroom. Not to eat them, mind - just to admire the growing power.

I think that the core doctrines of Christianity - the incarnation, the resurrection, life after death-these are as strong as ever. In fact, the belief in life after death has increased in this century.

The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.

Death is a weird thing.

I eat death threats for breakfast!
