Personal Life
In an interview on the Doctor Who: DWO Whocast, Cornell stated that this entry in Wikipedia described him as "...both a Christian and a pagan...", which he has chosen not to correct as it illustrates his sympathies for the pagan world. He then goes on to state that he is an Anglican but is very "...Low Church, almost a Calvinist.." and this is partly because he doesn't enjoy hymns.
Spiritual themes are not uncommon in his work (for example his novel Something More). Other frequent references in his work include owls.
Cornell is married to Caroline Symcox, who also has written Doctor Who-based audio plays for Big Finish Productions on her own and with Cornell.
In 2010, he appeared as a contestant on an episode of the BBC Four quiz show Only Connect.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“I know no personal cause to spurn at him,
But for the general: he would be crowned.
How that might change his nature, there’s the question.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I went back to my work, but now without enthusiasm. I had looked through an open door that I was not willing to see shut upon me. I began to reflect upon life rather seriously for a girl of twelve or thirteen. What was I here for? What could I make of myself? Must I submit to be carried along with the current, and do just what everybody else did?”
—Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)
