I'm no good at the one-liner thing. It's just not me.

I had teen angst for a while, but I think every teenager has the angst.

I never really sympathised with Peter Parker.

I'm a hard-mouthed north-eastern lad. That's me - the Eminem of Northeast England.

I was really just the tea boy to begin with, or the equivalent thereof, but I quickly announced, innocently but very ambitiously, that I wanted to be, I was going to be, a foreign correspondent.

There is nothing on earth so stupid as a gallant officer.

The fastest way to attain courage is to follow the chosen Way and be willing to abandon life itself for the sake of justice.
