I love to read history; at its best, it is an art.

I love to read, and I love Martina Cole.

I always love novels that open up a subject to me - like raising a window to a beautiful, mysterious world outside.

We are born, we live, we disappear. One of the chilling aspects of history is the swiftness with which it carries us into oblivion.

I consider myself a showman, and I love magic, and I love art, and I love performance, and they're all separate.

I'm an inveterate bookstore wanderer. I read constantly, so I love a good bookstore. I can't help it.
