Porridge and the urban lifestyle don't mix well.

Ambition drives you on, ability certainly helps, but the fickle finger of fate and luck are great things.

I had a holiday job in a kitchen, but I think well draw a polite veil over that. There was nothing joyous or creative about it. And none of this helped my studies.

Porridge and the urban lifestyle don't mix well.

We live in a flat; my wife would be happy if we had a house with stairs. Or a little cottage in the country.

I feel good when I stir something with a spurtle, but I don't make porridge very much in London.

Do not let the word tripe deter you. Let its soothing charms win you over, and enjoy it as do those who always have!
