As you get older, things conk out. It's a bit like a car. As long as it's something the mechanics can fix, you can chug on for a few more thousand miles.

Life is precious and relationships are precious. I'm a great believer in family.

I am a little bit of a softie, yes. Actually I don't think it's softness, I think it's kindness.

The thing with children is they're a bit like baking a fruitcake: you throw all the ingredients in but you never know how they're going to turn out.

I come from a broken home. My parents split up when I was nine. Everyone gave me a good wallop. But I come from a time when you just put up with that, you got on with things rather than sitting moaning about them.

I've got a great life. It's a shame the work gets in the way of the golf, really.
