Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. I think a child should be allowed to take his father's or mother's name at will on coming of age. Paternity is a legal fiction.
  • 2. I was confirmed at my prep school at the age of 13.
  • 3. The lovely thing about being forty is that you can appreciate twenty-five-year-old men more.

2 Amazing

  • 1. What's amazing is that I'm recognized all over the world through 'Red Dwarf.' British fans are exceptional but the American fans are something else. Some of them fly 500 miles to stand in line for three hours just to meet me then when they do they collapse. It makes you feel like a rock star!
  • 2. There are amazing schools and amazing educators that are doing a wonderful job. And then there are a lot of educators that are not prepared to deal with inclusive education. They haven't been trained. It's really quite lovely and easy when you understand how to do it.
  • 3. My siblings and I were friends with the boys who would become our stepbrothers – we grew up on the same street. I feel very special to have these amazing people in my life and if we hadn't all moved into this big house together I think I would have missed out on that because we would have drifted apart.

3 Anger

  • 1. We should meet abuse by forbearance. Human nature is so constituted that if we take absolutely no notice of anger or abuse the person indulging in it will soon weary of it and stop.
  • 2. I may have been the only candidate in America who failed to ride the wave of anti-establishment anger to victory.
  • 3. Grab the broom of anger and drive off the beast of fear.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I didn't make my first solo record until 1981 so I don't have any 60's or 70's recordings but I am working on a large boxed set called DUST to be released next year the 20th anniversary of my first solo record.
  • 2. Love is not weakness. It is strong. Only the sacrament of marriage can contain it.
  • 3. My mother and stepfather were married 43 years so I have watched a long marriage. I feel like I had a very good role model for that. And you know it's just a number.

5 Architecture

  • 1. To create architecture is to put in order. Put what in order? Function and objects.
  • 2. Architecture tends to consume everything else it has become one's entire life.
  • 3. Architecture is politics.
