One of my few childhood memories is as an eight-year-old, refused permission to watch the Hitchcock season on Irish television, sneakily viewing ‘The Birds’ though a crack in the living-room door.

A while ago, I did a television adaptation of ‘Bleak House,’ and the character I played, as far as I was concerned, had no redeeming features whatsoever. I wasn’t about to try to find any; I didn’t need to Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to sound too bleeding heart, because I know how lucky I’ve been, but I never knew how hard it was to be the lead in a television show Picture Quote #1

Lost, so small amid that dark, hands grown cold, body image fading down corridors of television sky Picture Quote #1

I grew up with a lot of body image issues - not just about my weight, but I would always see these perfect orb, domed boobs on television, and think, Mine don’t look like that. I thought there was something wrong with me Picture Quote #1

For me music is pretty personal. I generally listen to it alone, and I’ve never been a lover of concerts. So I don’t think I really bond with other people over music. That’s not unique to music for me, either. I feel that way about film, television, art, everything. I read a book alone, so why wouldn’t I listen to music alone? Picture Quote #1

I have argued about the future of fiction with jaded novelists, far-seeing postmodernists, technologists, television critics. The argument that future generations will not know the pleasures of the novel has been a staple of book reviewing since at least 1960 Picture Quote #1
