The greatest thing you can give a child is confidence.

I'm so bored of all these girls who have written about 20 books by the time they're 25.

I used to be pretty reckless. When I was a runner for a production company, I drove a massive 16 seater van. I was only 18. I mean I look young now, but then I looked about 12.

Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?

I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos, I'm in fancy dress, playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.
