Siobhan: I was wondering if you'd like to make a play out of your book? ...

Christopher: No. It's a book and it's for me and not everybody, just for me. ...

Christopher: No. I don't like acting because it is pretending that something is real when it is not really real at all so it is like a kind of lie.

Siobhan: But people like stories, Christopher. Some people find things which are kind of true in things which are made up. You like your Sherlock Holmes stories and you know Sherlock Holmes isn't a real person, don't you?
