Peter Ackroyd: Disappointed

"When I was a child I wanted to be Pope. My greatest disappointment is missing out on that. I also wanted to be a tap dancer but I never fulfilled that ambition either. I used to tap dance, but I can’t now."

Q&A with Peter Ackroyd in FT Weekend - the FT proper has next to no coverage of The Gays, it's kinda outside their remit, but FT Weekend seems positively obsessed - and in a good way.
