Peter O'Toole

There is a legend. And to protest is daft.

My dad went at 86. A car killed him. He was crossing the road.

I loved doing My Favorite Year, which was great fun, and The Ruling Class, which I made with all my chums.

I spend a lot of time on eBay buying vintage. I also really like Alexander Wang, Miu Miu, Vivienne Westwood, McQueen and Balmain.

As a writer, I try to do different things, but I'm not going to become a darker artist or turn into Radiohead overnight. I don't think that's my style.

As always on this boulevard, the faces were young, coming annually in an endless migration from every country, every continent, to alight here once in the long journey of their lives.
