art
I've always been interested in art.
book tuscany excellent
Don Quixote's 'Delusions' is an excellent read - far better than my own forthcoming travel book, 'Walking Backwards Across Tuscany.'
reading home play
Reading the play at home, however fulfilling, can never be the vivacious experience that Shakespeare intended.
funny fall swimming
The history of the relationship between comedy and swimming is short indeed. Of course it is always funny when someone falls into water, but that's about it.
reading exercise night
The best way to prepare for a night out with a Shakespearean tragedy is to do a bit of reading up in the afternoon, eat a light supper - perhaps Welsh rarebit - and then arrive early to do some stretching exercises in the foyer before curtain-up.
scary important ongoing
Global warming, the ongoing destruction of the planet, Third World debt, the uselessness of the railways, the takeover by the corporations, the scary George Bush person: all these things are important and should be animating me into outrage. Yet somehow they do not.
lunch week monte-carlo
I couldn't really see the point of having lunch unless it started at 1:00 and ended a week later in Monte Carlo.
falling-in-love garden long
If you want to be happy for a short time, get drunk happy for a long time, fall in love; happy forever, take up gardening.
fashion men bothered
Obviously I am not bothered about men's fashion - is anyone, apart from Jonathan Ross?
rain guy kind
I'm an armchair kind of guy, especially when it's raining, which it always is and always will be.
amazing offered programs variety
It's just amazing to see the variety of programs offered at the school.
children hero generations
Every generation of children has its private hero.
real perception painting
The real change that paintings undergo is in the perceptions of the viewer.
play office acting
Acting in a stage play is like working the evening shift in an office.
