I'm Glad Nobody Has Asked Me To

As A Fairly Innocent Teenager, Growing Up In A Village In Wales, I Just Thought, "god, I Would Like To Go And Hang About Soho And Write Great Poetry And Try To Avoid Drinking Myself To Death."

A Distinguished Producer Called Kenith Trodd Actually Lived In His Office For Over A Year - The Cleaners Refused To Go In Because It Was Such A Tip.

I Got Quite Cross When I Heard About Emma Thompson Adapting 'sense And Sensibility.' It Was Absolutely Childish Of Me, But I Thought, 'i Should Be Doing That. They Didn't Even Ask Me.' Some Mistake, Surely.

I Would Love It If Anyone Gave Me The Job Of Adapting 'the Great Gatsby,' But Nobody Ever Does.

I Always Do Like To Write Love Stories, Even If They End Tragically.
