Every Breath We Take As Human Beings

I Don't Enjoy Living In A White Box Flooded With Light. I Like Shadows, Small Spaces, Old Furniture.

I Like The Absurd And The Surreal: The Coen Brothers, Bunuel, Kubrick.

Every Decently-made Object, From A House To A Lamp Post To A Bridge, Spoon Or Egg Cup, Is Not Just A Piece Of 'stuff' But A Physical Embodiment Of Human Energy, Testimony To The Magical Ability Of Our Species To Take Raw Materials And Turn Them Into Things Of Use, Value And Beauty.

A Great Deal Of Energy Is Wasted In Hating People, And I Can Honestly Say I've No Wish To Expend Such A Precious Resource On Being Outraged About Anyone.

My Favourite Authors Include Trollope And Dickens.
