I am not against Muslim schools. But as I believe in integration, I think we would be better off overall if we did not have denominational schools at all.

The present system of protecting NHS patients was a bit of a shambles.

I think I've had a very privileged life.

I worked in the media from the late 30's through the early 70's. Politics in general became more liberal both nationally and within the state as the years passed.

I've always freelanced as an actor, and you always have to worry about the next paycheck. When I booked 'True Blood,' I promised myself I would take advantage of the fact that for the first time in my career, I could afford to turn down big money to go and do small, character-driven indies.

Most of the money I make now comes from investments from CrunchFund. And the vast majority of that is what's called carried interest.

Money: power at its most liquid.
