Even if we die at 100 we're still dying young. I want at least 700 years. There's a lot of travelling and books to read and movies to see. I'm not going to squeeze it all in in 85 years.

I love watching the Bond movies obviously and I grew up reading the books as a kid. I've always loved them because of that.

But then I go through long periods where I don't listen to things usually when I'm working. In between the records and in between the writing I suck up books and music and movies and anything I can find.

The movies I watch and the music I listen to and the books I read - those are important to me. It's very important to me and I don't know what I would do without those things.

I have three kids who like Harry Potter so I was sort of aware of it. You can't really move from it: it's on buses in stores it's everywhere. One of my kids has read the books the other two are too small but they like the movies.

It's like why people read scary books or go see scary movies. Because it creates a distance. They're scared but they're not going to get hurt.

I'm obsessed with zombies. I like watching zombie movies and I read zombie books.

When I was a boy I always saw myself as a hero in comic books and in movies. I grew up believing this dream.

I love the movies and when I go to see a movie that's been made from one of my books I know that it isn't going to be exactly like my novel because a lot of other people have interpreted it. But I also know it has an idea that I'll like because that idea occurred to me and I spent a year or a year and a half of my life working on it.

Movies are not scripts - movies are films they're not books they're not the theatre.
