The thing that I champion is sustainability. My terror is that suddenly we see it as a luxury, not an essential. That's a danger.

I've forgiven all my enemies - even those who have stolen money from me.

I admire anyone that follows the road less travelled.

I spend a frightening amount of money on books.

As a property developer, I learned a long time ago to choose your battles wisely and that, unfortunately, compromise is a given.

A great deal of energy is wasted in hating people, and I can honestly say I've no wish to expend such a precious resource on being outraged about anyone.

Life involves other people and it is a compromise.
