In just six weeks from the time the design was started we had the motor on the block testing its power.

No wonder the film industry started in the desert in California where like all desert dwellers they dream their buildings rather than design them.

Well I design costumes because I started with the theater in Chicago but somehow a few lines just sort of fell to me to do it. And I studied it in school and I always liked it.

I just finished my homework fast I was bored to death. There wasn't 500 channels so there was a thing for a librarian to teach a kid like me about reading. I started reading early and I read all the time because I love it.

I was fantasising about my own death I started thinking what my funeral would be like and what music would be played I was at that level of insanity.

I was very sad to hear of the death of Ronnie Barker who was such a warm friendly and encouraging presence to have when I started in television. He was also a great comic actor to learn from.

I never really got on that well with Yoko anyway. Strangely enough I only started to get to know her after John's death.

My original inspiration was my mom: a few years after the death of my dad she started dating one my teachers!

My wife and I have been together since 1986. I graduated in '86 and she graduated in '88. We began dating when she was 17. Actually she turned 18 when we started kissing and stuff.

The woman I am currently crazy about was a vegetarian for a year until I started dating her. As is the case with most vegetarians she had never eaten properly prepared meat only commercially packaged or otherwise abused flesh.
