Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- (speaking in April 2008 about working with Rik Mayall) Adrian: We might do something in about 10 or 15 years. We always had a plan to be a couple of pensioners and I think that would be quite humorous.
  Edit Share Hide
- (on why he hasn't finished writing another book). Adrian: Once a week I get the urge to complete one of the three fictional projects I've unfortunately got going. I take all the games off my computer and swear that I will not play another game until I have finished this or that project. Unfortunately, after 2 or 3 days I stick on another stupid game - I am very good at Civilization 2. I am a sad person...
  Edit Share Hide
- (on taking care of animals). Adrian: It's very satisfying looking after the animals - I'm hoping to get some pigs next. I like the thought of getting closer to nature and eating food that's been hand-reared. Deep down we're quite conventional. Jennifer would much rather be a gardener and I'd be much happier if I were a farmer.
