Anthony Hopkins

I always had a knack for improvisation. I can write down the notes I play, but never really had a proper academic musical background. I suppose I'm blessed and cursed by the fact I have that freedom.

My weak spot is laziness. Oh, I have a lot of weak spots: cookies, croissants.

My father wasn't a cruel man. And I loved him. But he was a pretty tough character. His own father was even tougher - one of those Victorians, hard as iron - but my dad was tough enough.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
