Some bosses believe they can't afford to employ someone legitimately - so they employ them illegally.

If I have a weakness, it's for timepieces - if I see one I like and can afford it, I'll buy it.

I think we have always had a fascination for gangs and gangsters, and I think we always will.

If a Christian is not having tribulation in the world, there's something wrong!

I believe the personal is the collective. One of the ironies of writing memoir is in using the "I" it becomes an alchemical "we." This is the sorcery of literature.
