If you're a kid at a secondary comprehensive in North London as I was in the seventies, prancing around doing acting and being a luvvie wasn't really a good idea for your personal security.

When you have a good idea, the money flows.

When you come to L.A. as a kid with your mom, you're lured into doing things that you think are cool and fun and a good idea, but they're cheesy and awful. And recording a pop single was one of them.

Paris is always a good idea.

I've always thought that writing isn't really that hard. It's having a good idea that's hard.

You'll find boredom where there is the absence of a good idea.
