Stella Vine Quotes

I heard Postgate's Desert Island Discs last year and I was very impressed by him as a man, and thoroughly enjoyed his choice of "When the Saints Come Marching In". Listening to a creative visionary, one's life suddenly feels exciting again - you just want to get making, and doing. Thank God for people like Oliver Postgate - when you discover them, life takes on a whole new meaning. What an incredible man.

I identify with people like Diana who just want to be loved by everybody. If somebody doesn’t like me I find that very upsetting.

I didn't think anyone really liked what I was doing and I literally have the bailiffs at my door.

Even in the most horrendous situations there is always something to smile about.
