It's good to explore your darkness.

I realise now, the character in the Christmas story we should all aspire to be is the star in the sky that shines so brightly and hopefully – that someone else who is lost can find their way.

At best, like a reforming Ebenezer Scrooge, we can undertake to keep Christmas in our hearts every day. Bless us all, everyone.

I've built a tree house; because of my architectural training, it's heavily over-designed, with an oriel window sticking out of it and flying foxes coming off it.

Very few of us playing a murderer will actually have killed someone.

The last thing I want to do is get togged up, go out and be polite.

Life is about now - some things are just too important to miss.

I've spent quite a bit of time in East Africa.

I'm terribly bad at lying in real life. I flush, look away, do the scratching of the nose, or whatever.

I owe it to those around me to keep sane. We all do.
