When I became a Christian my confidence grew.

The more I read my Bible the more I veered away from the Jehovah's Witnesses.

I've got two places I like to be. Portugal is one.

What other people think of me is becoming less and less important; what they think of Jesus because of me is critical.

But Portugal has a peaceful feel about it. I sit on the terrace overlooking the vineyard there and I feel cut off from the world. You need that sort of thing.

I have a group of people, about 40, in a local church in Surrey in England, who pray for me regularly.

The more we depend on God the more dependable we find He is.

You know, nobody eats in England. three or four pints of english beer a night fills you. i can’t say i’m very impressed with the food in America. it’s all sort of bland. like turkey sandwiches.

I say to the young blokes, when you get asked for an autograph, don't knock it back because there'll be a time where no one will ask you.

Strictly speaking, there are no holidays for art; art pursues you everywhere, and that's just fine with the artist.

I think as an artist or a writer it's OK to want to control your own work.

I'm very interested in tennis, but when I try to tell younger players about [Bill] Tilden, they're not interested.

Take the high road, there's a lot less traffic up there.

I'm a great fan of taking my laptop out and about.

I'd actually rather have a talk show in Australia than even America; I hope I do end up with a talk show.
