I Really Like Rustic Mediterranean

I Tend Not To Trust People Who Live In Very Tidy Houses. I Know That On The Surface There Is Nothing Wrong With A Person Being Well-ordered And Disciplined. Nothing, Except That It Leaves The Impression Of That Person Having Lived In The Confines Of A Stark Institution Which, Although He Or She Has Long Since Left, Remains Within.

Well, I Don't Ever Get Excited. I Haven't Been Excited Since I Got A Chopper Bicycle When I Was About 12. Once You Get Older You Realise There's Always A Catch To Everything. So When I Get, Say, A Commission To Make A Tv Show, The Catch Is That You Have To Deliver Something And Then The Sense Of Responsibility Overwhelms The Joy Of The Occasion.

One Saturday In 1984, I Walked Into My First Aa Meeting. I Went Regularly For Six Years And Only Stopped When I Came To Realize My Underlying Problem Was Not Genuine Alcoholism, But Depression.

I Took Religion Much Too Seriously, However, And Its Overall Effect Was Depressing. I Would Have Really Liked To Discard It, But Somehow I Couldn't.

But I Like Going To Church. If You've Been Brought Up In The Church Of England, It Feels Like Visiting An Elderly Relative. And I Think It's Important That Part Of The Kids' Education Is Knowing About The Bible.
