I am an optimist, unrepentant and militant. After all, in order not to be a fool an optimist must know how sad a place the world can be. It is only the pessimist who finds this out anew every day. |
I have four children which is not bad considering I'm not a Catholic. |
I have three daughters and I find as a result I played King Lear almost without rehearsal |
I was irrevocably betrothed to laughter, the sound of which has always seemed to me the most civilised music in the world. |
I'm convinced there's a small room in the attic of the Foreign Office where future diplomats are taught to stammer. |

Laughter would be bereaved if snobbery died |
Laughter... the most civilized music in the world. |
