The first rule of management is delegation. Don't try and do everything yourself because you can't.

When I was 16 I got a school holiday job at Minton's pottery factory in Staffordshire, packing plates. For a month's work, I was paid £44. Everything I now know about the birds and the bees, I learnt there.

People who earn reasonable amounts are being turned into the anti-Christ. I think 45 per cent tax is a colossal amount to take off somebody, and it is taking away the incentive to earn.

A lot of people live in a property that will one day be part of their pension, and that is true for me too. I have an investment I can sell with ease.

Maybe, instead of paying so much in tax, the very rich could be incentivised to help their local community and young people who do not have a home.

I have made six big home moves in my life and I have never lost money on one I have lived in.

I had started working in television but it did not pay that much. I was 27, renting this little one-bed flat in Shepherd's Bush, West London, with a bathroom so small only someone of my size could actually get in it.
