Kevin McCloud

I spend a frightening amount of money on books.

I like the absurd and the surreal: the Coen brothers, Bunuel, Kubrick.

I'm driven by issues, not driven to be political.

Growing up, I didn't know where I was headed, except to the grave or maybe to the gutter. I went through wanting to do a lot of things, but acting wasn't one of them.

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

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