I received two closely related questions via email this week, and I’d like to share my answers. I’ve rewritten these, so they’re not word-for-word the responses I sent.

The first person asked me a general question about how to deal with depression. So I wrote back something like the following:

I am a depression sufferer. I really don’t know how mine scales up next to anyone else’s. My one suicide attempt was half-assed (you can read about it in my book Zen Wrapped in Karma Dipped in Chocolate). Although I’m not as suicidal as I used to be, even now I go through troughs of depression and inevitably start thinking of doing myself in. This seems to be a deeply ingrained mental response to depression.

“We have to tie up the loose ends here.”
– Daniel Craig

Call me Hollywood, but I don’t usually dress up for work. It’s almost de rigueur to wear jeans and T-shirts to an interview. And if the actors are doing it, why shouldn’t we? Quantum of Solace was a special occasion though. For James Bond, at least for Craig’s James Bond, I put on my best black suit. It’s the suit I got married in, but, though I’m now divorced, neither Brooks Brothers nor Bond should have to suffer for my loss.
