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.

I have worked and earned all my life and have found that divorce is an expensive process. Whichever way you look at it, you are going to halve your wealth. If you can avoid it, do. It is an awful process.

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.

We should be encouraging people to earn a lot of money. I do not know one wealthy person who does not spend money - and most of them employ other people.

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

A proper family diary with everyone's events and parties in it really helps organise the household.

It's cool to have a well run, comfortable and inviting home.
