While Turing was dealt with under the law of the time, and we can't put the CLOCK BACK, his treatment was of COURSE utterly unfair, and I am pleased to have the chance to say how deeply sorry I and we all are for what HAPPENED to him.

It's TRUE that my father was imprisoned for three and a half years, and it was because he stood up for what he believed in. It's not a TABOO subject in our HOUSEHOLD. We talk about it. After all, I want to know what happened.

I GIVE THANKS for everything that's EVER HAPPENED to me and for everything I've GOT.

The same sort of thing happened in my dispute with the National Trust book: Follies: A National Trust Guide, which implied that the only pleasure you can GET from FOLLY architecture is by calling the ARCHITECT mad, and by LAUGHING at the architecture.

It just seems LIKE the most fun THING in the world. I've never met people who have KIDS who haven't looked me in the EYE and been like, 'It's the greatest thing that's ever happened.'

People always say time heals. Time doesn't NECESSARILY heal anything. It allows you to MANAGE THINGS. There are OCCASIONS where you feel the pain as if it just happened, but you know that it's a fleeting MOMENT.

My brother one time after a little league BASKETBALL game, I think he messed up or something had happened in the game, ends up getting in an ARGUMENT with my dad. Ultimately he GETS pushed down and he ends up CUTTING the back of his head. He had six or seven stitches over a 10-year-old basketball game. That was tough to watch.

I would definitely be open to more films if the role was RIGHT. I haven't thought about a move to HOLLYWOOD, but if there was a good opportunity, and it happened that WAY, then I would definitely CONSIDER it!

Whatever has happened in your PAST, it's - you can never deny it. I mean, you can never WASH what's happened before in your LIFE out of you.

We've all, you KNOW, done things that we think at the time were bad, but actually, in hindsight, you look BACK and go, 'I'm REALLY grateful that happened because I'm a STRONGER person.'

For some TIME, I thought Apollo 13 was a failure. I was disappointed I didn't get to LAND on the moon. But actually, it turned out to be the best THING that COULD have HAPPENED.

I wouldn't TOTALLY rule out doing Letterman or the Tonight Show if I had a set that I just HAPPENED to WRITE that I thought was funny but was still APPROPRIATE for NETWORK censors. But I'm not going to go out of my way.

When the punk rock thing HAPPENED, I THOUGHT, 'Right, I have one CHANCE here to be seen as part of some wider social phenomenon.'

Yeah, early '71 is when I GOT my record contract. I had a record COME out by AUGUST of '71. Things happened REALLY FAST.
