I don't need you to remind me of my age. I have a bladder to do that for me.

I think the fact that I'm so well known to be gay makes it very difficult to have a convincing relationship with a woman on screen. It wouldn't be at all difficult for me to kiss a woman - I'll kiss a frog if you like.

But happiness is no respecter of persons.

When you get just a complete sense of blackness or void ahead of you, that somehow the future looks an impossible place to be, and the direction you are going seems to have no purpose, there is this word despair which is a very awful thing to feel.

Happiness is no respecter of persons.

Taste every fruit of every tree in the garden at least once. It is an insult to creation not to experience it fully. Temperance is wickedness.

I like to think of myself at home in the armchair, writing, smoking and occasionally wandering down the shop.

I am a lover of truth, a worshipper of freedom, a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and tolerance.
