My overly ambitious dream is to be a Lena Dunham – I get immense pleasure seeing her name repeated over and over in the end credits of her brilliant creation ‘Girls.’
I was living in Paris, which is a very beautiful, very wonderful place, but a tight place as a city, a tight place culturally. Its people are very brilliant, thoughtful, the place functions, but it’s a historical place in some ways, like a big museum.
I’m not a very big fan of ‘Slumdog Millionaire.’ I think it’s visually brilliant. But I have problems with the story line. I find the storyline unconvincing.
‘Colonel Roosevelt’ is compelling reading, and Morris a brilliant biographer who practices his art at the highest level.

I hope it’s always going to be a mix between theatre, film and radio. I’ve been very lucky living in London that you can do all that – in New York and L.A., there’s more of a structure for film in L.A. and theatre in New York. In London, our industry is smaller, but it produces brilliant work all in one place.

I wasn’t a particularly brilliant student, but on the other hand, I was very active in Student Union affairs and in student politics.

Forty is brilliant and I love it. I’m happier now than when I was 20.
Undoubtedly there is a difference between people with money having access to the arts that people from working-class backgrounds don’t have, but that’s not their fault. I’m not taking anything away from these brilliant actors who are doing great stuff in Hollywood. A lot of them are my friends.
Books are something social – a writer speaking to a reader – so I think making the reading of a book the center of a social event, the meeting of a book club, is a brilliant idea.
I really love ‘Real Housewives.’ It’s like the, you know, comedy stuff that’s, like, intentionally funny. Like, I love ‘Nathan for You,’ that Comedy Central show. It’s just brilliant. My friend Bill Eichner has a show called ‘Billy on the Street’ that I write for, and even if I didn’t write for it, I’d still love it.

It’s all very brilliant to build bridges and buildings, but long after we’re gone, it will be the natural things in this world which will still be here.

I think Anand Rai is one of the few brilliant directors we have.
I think it has sullied his presidency. As brilliant a politician as Bill Clinton is, as magnetic a personality as he can be, there is one little screw loose somewhere.
I admire the work of brilliant actresses such as Judi Dench, Maggie Smith and Helen Mirren, who have had such varied careers. They have never stopped working, and they are as great today as they ever were.
