And I'll tell you, straight in the eye: D.I.Y., D.I.Y."

"MS: Have you ever turned to religion? M: At no time. I am a seriously lapsed Catholic. It was at the usual time, 10, 11, 12, after being forced to go to church and never understanding why and never enjoying it, seeing so many negative things, and realising it somehow wasn't for me. I can only have faith in things I see. I could never be converted to Buddhism."

"I can smell burning flesh … and I hope to God it's human."

"I suppose you have work tomorrow? That's quite sad, really."
