To me, I think it's awesome to meet your heroes and find out who they are and where they came from and what made them choose to communicate in the form that connected with you.

I've probably got lots of heroes. One is a chap called Charles Campbell - he is a wonderful chap. We cooked together in a nightclub in Notting Hill. He told me brilliant stories of food and life and generally put me on the right track.

I've always written about heroes and wondered who they are.

My heroes are people like Picasso and Miro and people who at last really reach something in their old age, which they absolutely couldn't ever have done in their youth.

I've really had two heroes in my life. My father and Ronald Reagan.

My heroes are and were my parents. I can't see having anyone else as my heroes.

I got my heroes secondhand, from television and movies, to a certain extent.

There are a lot of people who can be classified as heroes and do great things and inspire me.

I was never able to write seriously about heroes because I was very aware that I was not one and that in my background there was not this heroic thing.
