- Looking for happiness is a sure way to sadness, I think. You have to take each moment as it comes.
- The further you get away from yourself, the more challenging it is. Not to be in your comfort zone is great fun.
- If you have an over-preoccupation with perception and trying to please people’s expectations, then you can go mad.

- Being in front of an audience makes me feel alive. Being with friends makes me feel alive. I’ve done some crazy stuff in my time and yet I can feel infinitely alive curled up on a sofa reading a book. So, what makes me feel alive? I guess it’s realizing I am part of the world around me.
- You come into this world as you leave it, on your own. It’s made me want to live a life slightly less ordinary.
- I try to work hard. I’m really proud of what I get to do as a living. I still pinch myself. But I also know it’s a craft, and I can get better at it and learn every time I do it. So I try to work hard no matter what the task is.
- I like to think that we’re revolving on this planet and revolving through the galaxy. I love having context that’s so much bigger than I can fathom. It’s fantastic to realise how insignificant you are.
- Our daily lives are so mundane, we get taken over by what is immediately in front of us and we don’t see beyond that.
