Funny things tend not to happen to me. I am not a natural comic. I need to think about things a lot before I can be even remotely amusing.

I like to juggle with one ball at a time. Then I put the ball down and do nothing for extended periods of time.

I'm very good at having time off. I tend to take whole years off - I had 1994 and 1997 off. I find it very easy; I just love pottering around doing normal things.

I'm not a collector. I don't like the toy cupboard syndrome that causes so many good cars to evaporate.
