I've read everything. I've read everything twice. There is one writer I don't think you over here have heard of -- Shelagh Delaney, who came from Manchester in the late '50s. The most famous thing she wrote -- at the age of 19 -- was ''A Taste Of Honey''. It was made into a hugely successful motion picture. She has inspired me more than anybody.

I mean, I know I overdid it with Shelagh Delaney. It took me a long, long time to shed that particular one. [But] no one is ever quite as original as they think they are. I always considered the great mesh of all my influences had emerged in me as something that was (unique ''enough''). | It's a good question and it probably didn't happen until very late because a spark of me was always very, erm, unsure and that's when I think you rely on other people's ideas.
