For me art and chess are closely related both are forms in which the self finds beauty and expression.

Nonsense and beauty have close connections.

The place of chess in the society is closely related to the attitude of young people towards our game.

Films for TV have to be much closer to the book mainly because the objective with a TV movie that translates literature is to get the audience after seeing this version to pick up the book and read it themselves. My attitude is that TV can never really be any form of art because it serves audience expectations.

Gardening is not trivial. If you believe that it is closely examine why you feel that way. You may discover that this attitude has been forced upon you by mass media and the crass culture it creates and maintains. The fact is gardening is just the opposite - it is or should be a central basic expression of human life.

I've never been out with any of the cast of Coronation Street. We're all very close friends so it's very much a professional attitude.

My heroes are guys like Tom Hanks Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon. These are amazing actors with amazing careers that every actor should aspire to. I'm not saying I'm going to get anywhere close. It's not going to be an easy feat. I'm just in awe of their careers.
