From the Daily Mirror (as quoted on the Radio Times website):
“I got tired of it, I haven’t been happy for the last two years working there."
“There was no row with Brendan, there was no dispute over money or anything – in fact quite the opposite. I got so well paid it enabled me to be able to leave. We’re so big now that years are scheduled out. It’s not exhausting, it’s just boring.”
He added: “It can’t get any bigger now and just knowing what you were going to be doing, it was starting to get a bit like the civil service. It was becoming a chore for me, doing the same thing… For the first time in years I feel alive.”
