I was a hard worker, and I always knew my lines.

I had a place in England and was commuting from England to Australia, which is pretty stupid, but after two years I sort of knew what I wanted to do, more or less.

You never came home for lunch: you just stayed doing, playing, having fun, surfing, running round.

I was often very, incredibly naughty, and if I didn't come home at tea time I used to be sent to bed without any dinner. But people used to bring me things: I was better fed in bed.

I sort of was good at writing essays. I was never very good at mathematics, and I was never very good at algebra. I loved science, but I wasn't sure of it.

Glad-tidings to he who knows his own faults more than other people know it.

There's always a germ of truth in just about everything.

Under New Labour, only the future is certain. The past keeps changing
