Imelda May

In 2008, I was in a London park when I came across a fledgling crow that had fallen from the top of an oak tree.

Ismail Kadare

I first came across the script for 'Macbeth' between the ages of 11 and 12; it was the first book that shook my life.

Today there is a very thin layer of insulation in the oil market amounting to approximately one million barrels a day, meaning that every small disruption, be it a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico or riots in Nigeria or instability in the Middle East, immediately creates a rise in prices.

I, and others like me - trap stars - we always considered ourselves Robin Hoods: we go out and get the money.

In our situation, we took pride in getting money so that the hood could eat.
