Humans have always used animals to depict ideas about themselves: ideas about their status, about their position in life and society and the world.

My dad used to ignore me when I was a kid. He couldn't stand my voice, so he just used to ignore me, and then he'd impersonate me.

I love escaping into film, because everyday life I find quite troublesome. So any excuse to go into a cinema and say goodbye to the world for a couple of hours, or in a book or whatever, is great.

The solipsism of the oh so egotistical human...when it comes to animals...it's disgusting!

You've got to go with what feels instinctive and true to your heart, and filter out all of the other stuff.

I'd like a telescope, but I probably wouldn't look at the stars that often. I'd definitely be looking into people's flats most of the time.
