Without the oceans there would be no life on Earth.

I've never been hurt by a sea creature, except for jellyfish and sea urchins.

I believe implicitly that every young man in the world is fascinated with either sharks or dinosaurs.

You're gonna need a bigger boat.

There's nothing in the sea this fish would fear. Other fish run from bigger things. That's their instinct. But this fish doesn't run from anything. He doesn't fear.

Politics has become a game of meaningless, mindless battles, conducted by unscrupulous methods and people, designed to transform even the most serious policy debates into sport.

You are never so easily fooled as when trying to fool someone else.

I keep my ear to the streets - that's how I know music. I live, breathe, eat, and sleep music. That's it. Nothing else.

Everybody knows my life - it's an open book.

The Labour Party is and always has been an instinctive part of my life

Enjoy your work and work for whom you admire.
