ADD QUOTES
- (on children reading "Harry Potter") Ken: If we're going to make a fuss about children reading books, do it with Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials books, not J K Rowling. I can't believe idiot educationalists are praising children for turning up at school and reading Harry Potter.

- (on his new boat) Ken: I have bought a motor boat but not the kind you might imagine – pointy at one end, white and only to be driven in sunglasses. This is a trawler design, built in the Isle of Lewis. Just a wee trawler but I love it.

- Ken: I played Hitler (in "Uncle Adolf" on ITV in 2005) and the goal was to understand and make him seem human. I swiftly concluded there's no such thing as evil. We use the word for a situation we can't explain. If you call villains like Saddam, George Bush and Blair (well, he's just a puppet) 'evil', you abrogate responsibility for them being international terrorists.
