Lives of Brian" - по мое скромно мнение една от най-великите автобиографии на всички времена. И понеже съм на темата за заглавието, не разбирам избраното такова за българското издание - "Лицата на Брайън". Може би има някакво обяснение, но мисля, че то е меко казано "неподходящо" както в прекия, така и в преносния си смисъл. В книгата аз не видях "лица", видях само едно-единствено лице. Четейки, слушайки и гледайки през годините много интервюта на Брайън, си бях изградил един свой образ за него, един свой Брайън. Представях си го като добряк със скъсани дънки, голямо сърце, невероятно чувство за хумор и отдаденост на това, което прави. Това лице открих и във всяка една страница на тази толкова истинска и откровена книга, която така и не ме остави на мира, докато не я прочета докрая.

As far as my writing is concerned; it was originally no more than a case of give it a try and see how it goes. The first chapter of my debut Captain Shoelace story was so well received by friends and family that I was encouraged to see it through to the end. I've been able to do some not very good watercolour pantings and some cooking which has turned out to be surprisingly edible.
