Steve Coogan

Work, Character, Play

So half of them go bad, anyway.
Anne Lamott

Great, Mother, Bad

Jonathan Sacks

Others, Else, Start

I own my own company, so I've never had businessmen telling me what to do or getting worried if something doesn't sell. I've always had my own access to the public, because I started off making my clothes for a little shop and so I've always had people buying them.
Vivienne Westwood

Eddie Vedder
