I grew up in Birmingham, where they made useful things and made them well.

I was fired from my television job, simple as that. Well, downsized, really, a classic 1990s situation.

For me the end of a book is just as exciting as it is for a reader.

Printing currency for foreigners to buy is the best racket a government can get into.

I don't care about the little guy. I just hate the big guy. I hate big smug people who think they can get away with things.

What do I miss about the UK? Sadly, almost nothing. Maybe the midnight sun, in June in the north. That's all.

I'm not afraid of death. Death's afraid of me.
