...them live. I think that's the mark of serious affection. And I never go and see anybody live, apart from the Stones every time they do a tour. I loved Roger Waters' tour, by the way. I actually went to an Oasis concert. I thought they were a brilliant songwriting band. I had a long love affair with the Buena Vista Social Club. So I'm eclectic and erratic and faithless...
...stretch itself in so many directions.

...woman on the velvet-covered throne, often bursting into applause or laughter. As she started to read a passage from the book, the last in the Harry Potter series, it was clear that she was just as excited as the audience. She read with obvious delight, putting on brilliant voices that rang true to every character, and even bursting into a fit of giggles when Ron, holding up the magical Deluminator gadget, said he heard Hermione "coming out of my pocket...
