David Mitchell

As long as our civilisation keeps trundling along generally forwards, then there is the possibility of a future where ethnicity is merely an interesting badge, not a uniform you can't take off.

For me, novels coalesce into being, rather than arrive fully formed.

I've become a less brave traveller since I became a dad, but in the past I was more foolhardy than brave.

But I'm a rock 'n' roll singer; that's my livelihood, my occupation.

It is hardly surprising that women concentrate on the way they look instead of what is in their minds since not much has been put in their minds to begin with.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
