The big story of 2013, a very distressing year, is that Americans continue not to be able to find the full-time jobs they need, and that's something which the president has to recognize as the first priority of his administration.
I'm always working on a few different stories at once, so there's always some really big coffee table book I'm carrying around.

I think what happened there was just the budget would be too big to build these sets because nothing really exists here in New York of that period; you have to build it all.
At university I had a big coloured scarf and people would often say, 'All right, Doctor Who?' And, I thought, I rather liked that notion.

I can honestly say - and it's a big surprise to me - that I have never had a dream about being on the moon.
Cyprus was a breath away from economic collapse. It was a big battle in which we came out wounded, but upright and determined to make a fresh start.
