I've been busy for years, buying land, often under pseudonyms, and planting trees on it. All the money is going into it when I die.. and in the end I'd like to think that it will be 20 to 30,000 acres.

I only buy a computer when it's two years old, after the glitches have been worked out.

Most of the worst errors I made in my life came from forgetting to act small.

America, ladies and gentlemen, has done more for me financially than Britain ever has, or ever could have done.

'The Week' is my favourite magazine. Everyone from presidents to CEOs of companies love it, politicians, people in the massive charity business in America, in the arts and even more especially in the media.

America is an empire. I hope you know that now. All empires, by definition, are bumbling, shambolic, bullying, bureaucratic affairs, as certain of the rightness of their cause in infancy, as they are corrupted by power in their dotage.

Making money is certainly the one addiction I cannot shake.
