Sad old blokes, I'm told, now dream of me with a whip in hand.

I've had a lot of dates, but I don't think there's been anyone that special or important.

I don't like the anonymity of the banking process - people now don't have a bank manager they ever meet.

I've always taken risks and bought property well. As journalism wasn't particularly well paid, buying homes and selling them for profit improved my income.

Balance sheets bore me. I suspect if figures had excited me I would have gone into the city and now be a lot wealthier.

I saw George Bush at a benefit concert actually waving at Stevie Wonder. Someone had to tell him, 'He can't see you.'

My accountant regularly asks to take me to lunch. I always say I can't afford it.
