I sometimes think that what I do as a writer is make a kind of colouring book, where all the lines are there, and then you put in the colour.

As a writer, you write the book, you give it to your editor, it's copy edited, it's published, it's thrown out there, and then there's a response.

I decided there and then to sue the bastards.

And then split his own cranium in half. I would like to see you do that yourself Blore. It would take some practice.

I have pretty thick skin, and I think if you're going to be in this business, if you're going to be an actor or a writer, you better have a thick skin.

The lights go down, you hear the applause and you're up there, and then everything else is forgotten.
