It's a marvellous life, a gregarious life that we've had. We're very lucky in that way. Unlike writers or painters, we don't sit down in front of a blank canvas and say, 'How do I start? Where do I start?'
People have to eat and it's good to have a last-resort dole they can turn to.
Two great things you can give your children: one is roots, the other is wings.
