My message to businessmen of this country when they go abroad on business is that there is one thing above all they can take with them to stop them catching AIDS, and that is the wife.

The strongest possible piece of advice I would give any young woman is: Don't screw around, and don't smoke.

Small, short-sighted, blonde, barbed - she reminds me of a bright little hedgehog.

If someone asks for a soft drink at a party, we no longer think he is a wimp.

Margaret Thatcher drove us like there was no tomorrow. But I think there is a genuine feeling now that this macho, workaholic, earn lots of money way of life has run its course. There has been a shift in attitude. People are looking for a more balanced approach.

There's no smoke without mud being flung around.

Businessmen should stand or fall on their own two feet.
