' We never liked to have what we thought of as "dull" lodgers; I would willingly drop a guinea on the rent to accommodate somebody who I thought was doing an interesting job. Actors, writers, painters, working strange hours, making strange noises, throwing strange temperaments ... we've had them all.'
