"When I was about 16 or 17 I bought my first stereo unit. It had white speakers. Up to that point we'd only had a radiogram in our house, so this was the first time I'd heard stereo. I'd put my head between the two speakers on the floor and just listen to this record over and over again, I just couldn't believe it. It's an underrated record, but I think it's a fantastic album, it's got some really great songs on. Sonically, if you listen to it through really good speakers it sounds amazing. Now I've got bigger speakers I put it on really really loud. I've got a place in Maine, that's where the loud equipment is, and that's in the middle of the woods so I can play stuff as loud as I like."

"NOGGIN is headed for greatness and is without a doubt my favorite YA book. I won't go into plot or anything because that would mean getting aHEAD of ourselves since it doesn't pub until next April, but for anyone who's read WHERE THINGS COME BACK, I promise you that NOGGIN is a follow-up that will blow your head off your shoulders. I've never cried reading a book before - and I've read many, many books - but there was a beautiful scene that transformed me from robot to human and that's a testament to Corey's writing. There are so many lines in this novel that only HE could've written and they're fantastic. If you're a teenager or adult or robot, you'll love NOGGIN and admire how Corey manages to get into the head of his character. (Pun pun pun pun.)"

"This is just maddeningly brilliant. At once sweeping and epic, and yet searingly personal, thanks to the incredible work of Peter O’Toole. It’s such a long film, which I love, and yet there’s not a moment in it that seems like it’s played too long. Everything from the rich orchestral score, to the extraordinary photography of F.A Young, and David Lean at the peak of his powers make this a timeless film, and one that remains, sadly, as relevant today as when it was shot. It’s about political and financial power and about the subjugation of a people, the fight for freedom and the power of the individual to make a stand against the imperial. All the performances are fantastic, from Sir Alec Guinness to Omar Sharif and on. Again, this feels like a perfect piece of cinema to me."
