"The first book I really can see now if I shut my eyes was an extraordinary book called Foxe’s Book of Martyrs and it must be a 17th-century book…It contained the most hair-raising engravings of people having their guts pulled out and being burnt alive. In its time, it was a very famous book. Because no doubt it was a very valuable book. But I was absolutely fixated by these images of terrible things happening to human beings, human beings doing terrible things to other human beings. So Foxe’s Book of Martyrs is the first book which I can remember pages of if I just shut my eyes"
