Gardening is not something to get on your high horse about or be overwhelmed by. Either you enjoy it or you don't.

Real talent will get through whatever the obstacles.

My life is so full of surprises, nothing surprises me any more.

When I was 15, I was naive, looked like a grey mouse and felt second choice.

I don't take myself seriously any more. Sometimes I just garden in my knickers and platform shoes.

My parents have a wonderful marriage, for many years. But I can't commit myself for such a long time.

Performing, I can take it or leave it. Horticulture is far more challenging. I'm absolutely fascinated by it.

My father has taught me all the tricks of the boys at an early age, which has made me very careful.

Dad is my best mate and I can tell Mum absolutely anything. I really appreciate Mum and Dad. Why are we so close? Young parents, I think. The rock business keeps their minds young.

If you're from a poor background, you have to work even harder. But that's what makes you who you are.

I used to rap as a kid and people were impressed by it, so it gave me the drive to keep going. Everybody has at least one talent. I guess this is my talent.

Making mistakes is the privilege of the active - of those who can correct their mistakes and put them right.

I can't promise my child a life without bias - we're all biased - but I promise to bias my child with multiple perspectives.

The 'Idea of India' is an India of opportunity and aspiration. An India where: all are prosperous and happy, all are free from illness.

I never had one beer. If I bought a six-pack of beer, I kept drinking till all six beers were gone. You have to have that kind of understanding about yourself. I haven't had a drink now in 12 years.

To the ancient Greeks the word, dikaiosini,justice was often synonymous with ekdikisis,vengeance.

Truth is, it's a relief to finally put my life in the hands of someone I trust.
