Don't accept that you are in crisis just because everyone says you are.

There is something in me that makes me see things through.

Tony's [Blair] convinced I'm going to find God. I do have spiritual moments, but I don't think it's God.

Greg Dyke is on record as saying that once the BBC was attacked, it was their job to defend themselves. But that is not their job.

I feel like thanking Paul Dacre every time, because the reason they ask me is because they think I've come through the other end with a pretty good reputation. Loads of people get a bad press but have a good reputation. [David] Beckham - think what he went through. [Bill] Clinton, likewise. You just have to be true to yourself.

I think I'm highly loveable.

I had a happy childhood.
