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.

In my mind, there's a time and a place for putting your foot down.

Every now and again I need to get away from everything. I'm quite a hidey-hole kind of a guy.

Getting an award on Top Gear is better than getting a Grammy.

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.

I'm very used to stages and dressing rooms. And dare I say it, much as I like being at home, I love the buzz of a new hotel room.

Well, I'm British. I'm proud to be British and I love this country. I'm going nowhere.
