I am very much aware that if I am getting good press at the moment I could just as easily be getting bad press. I cannot have the good and forget the bad. You have to accept it both ways.

Winning is everything. The only ones who remember you when you come second are your wife and your dog.

If I am pushed I will push back, that is the way I am. I am very British. We don't like to be pushed around. When the chips are down we might have to step into grey areas.

The British tend to shy away from the spotlight. We don't like being singled out in any way, and I think that is something which is important for me to learn to do.

Birth and death: there was the same consciousness of heightened existence and of her own elevated importance

Where ignorance prevails, there an opportunity exists.

All my life, my heart has yearned for a thing I cannot name.

Heroes exterminate each other for the benefit of people who are not heroes.

The individual with a negative mental attitude attracts troubles as a magnet attracts steel fittings.

Play is as necessary to the perfect development of a child as sunshine is to the perfect development of a plant.

Art is recuperation from time. I lie back convalescing upon the prospect of a harvest already at hand.

I love to hear stories about people who got to places where they are today. Those kinds of things are very interesting to me.

I am a Zionist, an ardent supporter of Israel, its defender when I deem Israel to be right and its critic when I deem it to be wrong.

Jesus is not the man at the top of the stairs; He is the man at the bottom, the friend of sinners, the savior of those in need of one. Which is all of us, all of the time.
