Television:

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I think it saps peoples ability to communicate face to face and form any real sense of community which is what is lacking in our world. Creates prejudice based on stereotypes and makes us much more susceptible to subliminal massages. If I ever have kids they'll have wooden toys and probably grow up all isolated and lonely... News and cookery shows aren't bad, Simpsons, The pinball machine on Sesame street................................ Muppets.

Books:

Papillion, Moby Dick, Gifts of unknown things, Centre of the cyclone, Supernature, Childhoods end, Children of Dynmouth and I am Legend (don't you hate a Hollywood ending?) are all good books. I wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't spent a lifetime looking at pictures so : Sacred Calligraphy of the east, Sacred Mirrors, Any Courtney Davis, Necronomicon, Art of MODERN ROCK, Blckmrkt, Tattoo Icons, Lowbrow art, The Album Cover Album, The Grammar of Ornament, Giant, On the surface of things and The Color of Nature would all come with me in a fire.

Heroes:

Isn't that a kind of sandwich?
