“I'd still like to see the Steve Coogan as Peter Sellers version of The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004).”
Roger Lewis, The Life and Death of Peter Sellers

J.M. Coetzee
“That was our first time together. Interesting, an interesting experience, but not earth-shaking. But then, I never expected it to be earth-shaking, not with him.

What I was determined to avoid was emotional entanglement. A passing fling was one thing, an affair of the heart quite another.

Of myself I was fairly sure. I was not about to lose my heart to a man about whom I knew next to nothing.”
J.M. Coetzee, Summertime
