I'm anxious about work, the future, friendships, past relationships... I'm just one of those people that, whatever I'm doing, it's a big worry.

I'm living as an artist, and that's a staggering feeling, it's a total luxury. And because you have this amazing chance, with so much freedom, I'm determined to make something that is worth that. I feel this responsibility - to create something that makes an audience feel, which takes them somewhere. But that's very hard to achieve.

I'm not a good storyteller - I much prefer to be with people who are chatty, to have the luxury of listening.

We know so little of the why, what the universe is, what infinity is. The veil around us is very fragile.
