I don't particularly follow the Bauhaus school of design where you make everything into a black box - simplify it.

When I'm lying in my bed I think about life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeals to me.

I'm not interested in dating. I like being with my own best friend me. Certain women particularly older women cannot believe I like going to a social event by myself. But I do.

I like the idea of dating but I'm not dating anyone exclusively particularly right now. It's hard to be in a relationship unless you're ready to go public with it. So it's a lot easier for me to not be in a relationship. I really don't want that part of my life to be tabloid fodder.

My dad was a particularly polite kind of guy very courteous.

The place of the father in the modern suburban family is a very small one particularly if he plays golf.

See at a certain point it becomes cool to be boy crazy. That happens in sixth grade and it gives you so much social status particularly in an all-girls school if you can go up and talk to boys.

I don't particularly dislike any kind of person that might be reading my stuff. They like it and that's cool but I don't do the work for any kind of group in particular except for hobos who just plain kick ass and light up my life.

I have a cycle that is not particularly cool but it's a cycle: trash myself to reward myself.

One of the problems with computers particularly for the older people is they were befuddled by them and the computers have gotten better. They have gotten easier to use. They have gotten less expensive. The software interfaces have made things a lot more accessible.

Electronic aids particularly domestic computers will help the inner migration the opting out of reality. Reality is no longer going to be the stuff out there but the stuff inside your head. It's going to be commercial and nasty at the same time.

Civilization grew in the beginning from the minute that we had communication - particularly communication by sea that enabled people to get inspiration and ideas from each other and to exchange basic raw materials.

I think it's particularly a distinctively American concept that resonates with American culture through biker culture. A motorcycle is an independent thing. You're like 'I don't want to ride in a car with this person. I want to be independent and ride by myself. But let's ride in a group. Let's be independent together.'

I don't want a flashy car just something that would allow me to stop using the Tube. And it would be good not to have to rely on my mum all the time particularly when I have to listen to her singing in her car.

Most small business owners are not particularly sophisticated business people. That's not a criticism they're passionate about cutting hair or cooking food and that's why they got in the business not because they have an MBA.

Of course everybody makes mistakes and we've all been young and stupid. But people need to have a sense of respect particularly in this business because hundreds of people are ready to take your place at any time. Maybe some people should think about that.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned. But I remember the beauty and thrill of being moved by Broadway musicals - particularly the endings of shows.

I always loved aesthetics. Not particularly fashion but an idea of beauty.

Having a child makes you strong and gives you chutzpah. It relaxed my attitude to the job my center of focus shifted which I think is very helpful because even if you're not a very indulgent actor you spend a lot of time thinking about yourself. I don't think that is particularly healthy.

Liberalism is a really old British tradition and it has a completely different attitude towards the individual and the relationship between the individual and the state than the collectivist response of Labour and particularly Old Labour does.

In the first book of my Discworld series published more than 26 years ago I introduced Death as a character there was nothing particularly new about this - death has featured in art and literature since medieval times and for centuries we have had a fascination with the Grim Reaper.

Contrary to popular opinion things don't go stale particularly fast in the art world.

I had a lot of anger inside me and that came out at times that were not particularly advantageous to me career-wise.

For years I never knowingly went on a holiday. When I travelled it was for work. Now I am a huge advocate particularly to places which have amazing wildlife such as Antarctica India and Patagonia.
