When I work, my first relationship with people is professional.

And I don't like to work. I only like working when I'm working.

"I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: 'try being rich first'. "See if that doesn't cover most of it. There's not much downside to being rich, other than paying taxes and having your relatives ask you for money. But when you become famous, you end up with a 24-hour job."

People say I'm difficult and sometimes that's a badge of honour.

People only talk about what a joyous experience it is, but there is terror: Your life, as you know it, is over. It's over the day that child is born. It's over, and something completely new starts.

I think that the online world has actually brought books back. People are reading because they're reading the damn screen. That's more reading than people used to do.
