London underground took me on a tour of all the hidden places, the disused shafts and staircases... that was very interesting.

Every time we dig underground we find some hidden marvel.

We, people, are so very, very complicated that no matter how well drawn a fictional character is, they can't get anywhere near as complex as a real person.

I went into a church and simply said, 'Goodbye.' It is the terrible unfairness of life. How could God allow cancer, poverty, the sheer unfairness of so many lives? That is the question which finishes it for me.

I get up just before six and come downstairs, put food out for the cats, and open the cat flap. Then I work out for 35 or 40 minutes - I have a very large bathroom with an elliptical cross-trainer and a bicycle.

People are still being put into geriatric wards when they don't need it. They need treatment, not just being put into bed and fed.
