I am a great believer in having the power to end your life and knowing that, in extremis, you can. But I would not want to involve anybody else in my actions if it could imperil them.

I'd like to be a jazz singer, but I couldn't possibly do it; nobody would want me, anyway.

Living apart is hardly possible if people have children together. It can also be more expensive to maintain two homes. But then, it's expensive to break up when you live in one property.

I feel sorry for generations of Labour voters and supporters who must look and wonder what on earth has gone wrong and what Labour is for.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

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