I love Dickens because it makes me chuckle to myself so. He has taken me to another world and out of so many earthly miseries.
From Jane Birkin
I only like boutiques.
I'd rather live on my own than live with a face that looks at me with the wrong eyes.
If I were mayor, I'd invite everyone to have free boat trips on the river and free balloon rides over the city. I'd let the elderly in residential homes wander free.
If you fall in love with a country and its people, that makes any country warm to you.
People always like things that seem exotic.
Robert Louis Stevenson... I'm focusing on the late short stories that I was ignorant of. I always thought he was a boys' author, but he's not at all.
When I was at school I used to scream in trains, in those concertina things between the carriages. I used to try to be so good that sometimes I couldn't bear it any more.
David Attenborough... has that wonderful, breathy voice, and he's always so fascinated by what he's seeing. There's nothing about him that I can't find attractive.
Big Ben... hearing the chimes makes me feel at home.
