I became a sceptic of one way of seeing the world. And I think it is what started me in my awareness that any worldview is superstitious.

I think theatricality is just one way of performing. I don't think it's a better way or the way, but it's my way.

'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' had a formative effect on me. I think it's one of those works that if you encounter it very early you're doubly enchanted by the beauty of the language and the strangeness of the vision. It stays with you.

Compassion is so pure, I don't think there is any way to taint it.

I think, No. 1, I still have a long way to go.

I was quite happy with the way I went, I think.
