I like Philip Larkin an awful lot; I really like his view on life, and I really connect to it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Philip Larkin has a tough honesty and sense of humor that I find irresistible, as a contemporary poet.
As an actor, I really like Philip Seymour Hoffman. I think he's a genius.
There are many actors I really like and whose work I admire.
Oh my goodness me, Daniel Day-Lewis - huge, huge fan of his. I've always loved his philosophy on acting: he always talks about returning to a state of play.
Phil Rudd from AC/DC was someone I really liked a lot... Not because I was dazzled by his playing ability - he was just a rock, y'know?
I've always been a big fan of Phillip Lim. He'll always be a favorite of mine.
I love astute observations and really great wordplay. I love the way that Louis C.K. observes life, and I love the way Patton Oswalt talks about it.
I like Edward G. Robinson - he started as a character actor and became a lead, which is probably why I like him.
The best books of our times have included the three mature volumes of Philip Larkin. They're very short books of poems, and very carefully arranged.
Jimmy McGovern - I love his writing, and I'm a big fan of him and Alan Clarke.
