As you get older you have more respect and empathy for your parents. Now I have a great relationship with both of them.

What I respect as far as in myself and in others is the spirit of just doing it. For better or worse, it may work and it may not, but I'm going to go for it. Ultimately I probably prefer to be respected for that than whether it works out or not, either winning or losing.

If I'm a lush at anything, it's food and drink. I'm not materialistic in any way, but I value food.

I think I may have been the only person to be rewarded charitably and get a tax deduction for swearing on film!

In life you don't regret the things you do, you regret the things you don't do.

I'm quite a competitive person, so I do quite like to win.

By nature I'm not a brooder.
