I was dyslexic, so I was put in the silly class at school.

I was a terrible father. The most I ever did for my children was to teach them chess. At least they got that.

I didn't know a time when there wasn't a war because I spent all my time from the age of two or three to eight in a coal cellar really.

If you're curious, London's an amazing place.

I left school on my 15th birthday.

My paintings are rubbish.

I've been used by women all my life, fortunately.
