It didn't even really matter how good the band was - if someone could keep a beat, then you were prepared to jump up and down and smash around.

I don't say: 'can't do that', 'won't do that'. I've never thought in that way about work. The genuine truth, and I do think about this a lot, is that I'm one of the least competitive people you'll ever meet. Except with myself.

A man is still likely to earn more money than a woman, even one doing the same job. You have a far better chance of entering political office or becoming a company director...

But all animals have got their virtues. You know, cockroaches got virtues.
