Whenever someone says to my mum: 'How's your son doing?' she says: 'Which one?' If you're a parent, you're not going to go: 'Oh I'll concentrate on the famous one.'

Being a mod is more of a sensibility than a style.

You could say I'm a mod, but with a small 'm'; I don't wear a parka, but I do question what I wear and what I listen to, which is what it's all about.

Name anything - high-definition TV, computer obsolescence - and I'm pretty much annoyed by it.

I'm not posh or common, I'm in between.

I love that pre-mod jazz look of the late Fifties, the Steve McQueen style that influenced the British modernists.

God will often give you more than you can handle so you can learn to depend on Him rather than on yourself.

I think the birds in the area are dying laughing watching me try not to crash.

Aim High, Drive hard.

Even the idea of a fart makes me laugh. Saying the word 'fart' makes me laugh. I have iFart on my phone. I have remote whoopee cushions. Farts. To me, there's nothing funnier.

Properly speaking, such work is never finished; one must declare it so when, according to time and circumstances, one has done one's best.

One must never underestimate the profound bigotry and anti-intellectualism and intolerance and illiberality of liberalism.
