More From Mark Haddon

I don't know if one's more typecasting than the other, or what i am more like. but i know that the high school i went to was a private school. it was prep school. it was a boarding school. so we didn't have a shop class. we didn't have saturday detention. we went to school on saturday. we did have sunday study, which you very rarely get, because then you have 13 straight days of school. who wants that?
School Sunday Class
I was quite straight-laced. i was quite academic until i was about 14 and then i went to boarding school where i had the opportunity to continue to be very academic, but got less interested in it and became more involved in acting. and then when i was applying for universities i used a couple of places on my ucas form to apply for drama school without telling anyone... but didn't get into drama school. but that was the most rebellious thing i did.

I spent my entire childhood in the same town, in kent. i went to grade school there. there was a boarding school that my mother taught at, called - appropriately enough - kent school, that i went to. yeah, pretty much my entire childhood was spent in that town.

If the various groups in america had been less selfish and had permitted different representatives from the groups to travel into foreign countries, and broaden their own scope, and come back and educate the movements they represented, not only would this have made the groups to which they belonged more enlightened and more worldly in the international sense, but it also would have given the independent african states abroad a better understanding of the groups in the united states, and what they stand for, what they represent.

Since my education, i've done quite untraditional things. there are very few etonians who went to rada. and far fewer etonians - certainly when i was there - went to cambridge. i don't know whether it's the same now. most people i knew went to oxford, because it seemed more of an easy bridge.

I am but a poor struggling soul yearning to be wholly good, wholly truthful and wholly non-violent in thought, word and deed, but ever failing to reach the ideal which i know to be true. it is a painful climb, but each step upwards makes me feel stronger and fit for the next.

Inspirational Spiritual Reading
Like the arthurian years at camelot, the sixties constituted a breakthrough, a fleeting moment of glory, a time when a significant little chunk of humanity briefly realised its moral potential and flirted with its neurological destiny, a collective spiritual awakening that flared brilliantly until the barbaric and mediocre impulses of the species drew tight once more the curtains of darkness.

There are people hell-bent on the idea that we're a christian band in disguise, and that we have some secret message. we have no spiritual affiliation with this music. it's simply about life experience.
