I've spent my whole life being told I have a face like a horse. You are just what you are, aren't you?

The early bird may get the worm, but its the second mouse that gets the cheese.

Scepticism is a necessary and vital part of the journalist's toolkit. But when scepticism becomes cynicism it can close off thought and block the search for truth.

It's not just politicians. Any spokesman for a vested interest is well schooled in how to say what it is they wish to say, which may bear no relation at all to what you've asked them.

Sharing holiday snaps on social media is an act of arrogant vanity.

Television bosses should stop insulting the public's intelligence by assuming we are all idiots.

We are not at the center of ourselves, but instead - like the Earth in the Milky Way, and the Milky Way in the universe - far out on a distant edge, hearing little of what is transpiring.

I don't see anybody in any sort of squad that has a normal body. It's kind of this false image of what people should look like. And what they should be like, and it's not real.

But there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen before we go to Paradise by way of Kensal Green.

I will build a car for the great multitude.

I love the power women have. I think women rule the world because they rule men. Manipulating men - that's our job. That's what we're on the planet for.

Drunkenness is simply voluntary insanity.

I'm five-foot-something, sixty years old; I'm not much of a physical threat to anybody.
