I collect things that just look retarded.

Collecting has been my great extravagance. It's a way of being. I collect for the same reason that I eat too much-I'm one of nature's shoppers.

Collecting is the sort of thing that creeps up on you.

All my collections are very personal. It's also because I'm so involved in making the collections.

Collecting is my passion.

When people show you who they are, believe them. I carry that with me a lot. It has served me well.

I'm an anorak. I've always been an obsessive collector of things. Richard Briers collects stamps. I collect cars and guns, which are much more expensive, and much more difficult to store.

I collect human relationships very much the way others collect fine art.

Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have.

I used to collect comic books. I had a substantial collection. I collect records also, but those have gone the way of the world.
