I Love Mikhail Bulgakov. He Is Very Original And Takes The Story To Unexpected Places. I Didn't Realise Political Writing Could Be So Funny.

Usually When I'm Trying To Establish Character, I Try And Find Out Where They Live.

I Just Got An Honorary Degree From Glasgow University, And I Had To Wear Around Very Painful Shoes So That I Didn't Laugh All The Way Through The Ceremony Because I Felt Like An Outlaw.
