I think it is easy for people to build up an image of what I'm about. I consider myself quite a nice chappy really. I'm decent to people, I stay in and listen to Radio 4.

Your private life is your private life and you keep it to yourself. You get more respect that way.

The mid-life crisis is just those times when you're not so into the things you were when you were younger.

I can do the equivalent of 150 miles per hour and not get stopped. I could quite happily pursue people down the motorway in my helicopter.

Now, I'm the most impatient person that ever walked the planet. However: for the best, you always wait.

I didn't get my first car until I was 22. It was a BMW 1602 and now I've got it back I'm waiting to restore it.

I learn fast and I take note of what I've been told.
