And I think he's been very keen to do that. |
Believe me, my children have more stamina than a power station. |
Crows are incredibly smart. They can be taught five things on the drop. |
He will be hugely, hugely missed. |
I had a very bad time with acid. I did that classic thing of looking in the mirror by mistake and seeing the devil. But I took it several times, because you always think that next time you might have the wonderful time that everyone else is having. |
I had no chance of being mysterious at all. I used to put on accents. I pretended to be American because I thought they'd be impressed. |
I have lots of images of my father. One of them is cooking a tin of ravioli in the boat hut when we'd been fishing. I don't know why. And also, he did a fantastic soft shoe shuffle, which he would do in front of the fridge when the day's work was finished. He was very dapper, very smart, always very well turned out. And seriously funny. |
I just get the same stuff as I did before, but the price tag is much higher. |
I knew it was going to be enormous because of the number of people who bought the books, but, to be honest, I never thought it would be bigger than Bond. Never in a million years. |

I mean, I'm obviously not one of those people who's so beautiful women take their clothes off when I walk into the room. I didn't become a star overnight. |
I sometimes worry that all the beautiful things have been made. |
I think the shocking thing to discover is the owls are not stupid and very feral, very hard to train. |
I was always terribly, terribly aware of how cliched the whole ritual between men and women is. This was 1964, 1965. The girls all stood on one side of the room, the boys stood on the other. |
I'll be the one with the steering wheel through my chest. You can write the obituary. |
