For me, a good holiday is about value for money rather than things to see.

I find that if you just talk, your mouth comes up with stuff.

If you are living the dream, how do you know if you are asleep or awake?

I mean, I don't really go out at night in terms of noisy, busy places; I prefer more of a quiet corner somewhere.

They keep saying that sea levels are rising an' all this. It's nowt to do with the icebergs melting, it's because there's too many fish in it. Get rid of some of the fish and the water will drop. Simple. Basic science.

In the sea you've got to be constantly sort of alert. It's worse in the sea [than anywhere else in the animal kingdom]. In the sea you've got an enemy behind every rock.

If you go away with, you know, a girlfriend, wife, whatever, you have an argument on holiday because you're not used to spending that much time with people.
