I hope to live long and be happy. But I'd like to be remembered as somebody who did good rather than mischief.

I think one of the downsides of the sort of obsession with romantic love and personal fulfillment is that the plain fact of the matter is that those feelings don't last for ever and so they better be replaced and reinforced by things that do.

Marriage is... OK, it's rooted and grounded on love and attraction.

It sounds extraordinary but it's a fact that balance sheets can make fascinating reading.

I will say that the prison regime is rather a good one for a writer because you have plenty of time to write.
