You don't want money to make you a social freak where you can only hang out with rich people.

Forty freaked me out. I didn't see it coming. My life was in a state of chaos - I was moving jobs and moving house - and it just hit me like a ton of bricks.

I always say I'd rather be miserable by myself than unhappy in a relationship.

I've heard other gay people say when they were growing up they felt 'foreign.' Growing up, I was able to label these feelings as: 'I'm a Protestant.' It wasn't until I left, I thought: 'Oh, those weren't Protestant feelings.'

I'd like to retire at 50 but I don't want to sell papers in the middle of London on a Zimmer.

You don't want to be hard to look at. Plain very good, hard to look at bad. The plain shall inherit the earth; time is our friend.

Britain's such a twisted, weird little place.
