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

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

I don't watch myself on TV, I don't read the news clippings about me, so when people come up and say, 'What about that story last week?' I go, 'I didn't even know there was.'

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.

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

I think a lot of ladies get quite scared about people like me, 'rock stars', and it can be hard to meet the right sort of person.

I'm not gonna give the British Government the joy of keeping taxing me. They don't tax art. And all my cars are just a collection of art.
