3 w. ago ‘I wanted to write more than I wanted to have children’: author Sarah Perry on rejecting motherhood

When the novelist was faced with the decision of whether to pursue fertility treatment or focus on her career, her literary ambitions kicked inFifteen years ago, having said all my life that I never wanted a baby, that I couldn’t fathom why any free woman would do such a thing to her body and her mind, I suddenly and passionately wanted a child. I remember where I was when this feeling, so heretical to me, arrived: it was early morning in London, and having come down Fleet Street on my way to work, I was standing at the till of a newsagents to pay for a Diet Coke, a flapjack and a pack of Silk Cut.

3 w. ago Inspired and emotional: why a drunk Ray Winstone was exactly what the Star Wars prequels needed

The Sexy Beast star has said he was under the influence when he auditioned – unsuccessfully – for Attack of the Clones. George Lucas really missed a trickThe Star Wars prequels were not particularly enjoyable to sit through. All the matinee adventure serial action of the first three films were gone, replaced by long scenes about impenetrable galactic taxation systems, as performed by characters that seemed to have been designed purely for their potential to sell toys.So bad were the prequels in fact, that realistically there is only one thing that could have possibly improved them. Of course, I am talking about the sight of Ray Winstone tearing around the set in a silly costume, drunk off his face. Only now do we understand how close this came to be. Talking to Far Out recently, Winstone revealed that he auditioned for the part of Ruwee Naberrie, the father of Padmé Amidala, in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones. And he would have got it, too, except for the fact that he t...
