Quotes:

There was a rumour that I was dead. I happened to be off work that day and I had a beeper and the batteries had died so I was just shopping and looking round book stores. People were frantically trying to get in touch with me and people were calling hospitals and the news people were calling my agent trying to see if it was true and I got home and my voice mail was filled with people going, `Call me if you're ok' - and I was completely oblivious.

Soon to be seen in:
