• I think when people mean that Discworld books have become darker they really mean the series is growing up. In 'The Colour of Magic' most of the city is set alight. It's a joke, in much the same way that the Earth is destroyed almost at the start of Douglas Adams's 'The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.'

• We have that illusion that we are 'deciding' what to make a character do, in order to 'convey our message' or something like that.

He asks loads of questions of everyone.

• The tools are real. The viewer is real, you, the artist, is real and a part of everything you paint.

All you have to do it with is a brush, some chemical and canvas, and technique.

• My generation was secretive, brooding, ambitious, show-offy, and this generation is congenial. Totally. I imagine them walking around with GPS chips that notify them when a friend is in the vicinity, and their GPSes guide them to each other in clipped electronic lady voices and they sit down side by side in a coffee shop and text-message each other while checking their e-mail and hopping and skipping around Facebook to see who has posted pictures of their weekend.
