I am not racked with self-loathing. Some issues of guilt and shame, but I'm a pretty good guy.

I realised that to compare your insides with other people's outsides leads to unhappiness.

Jews, I know you're God's chosen people and the rest of us are just 'whatever', but when Israel behaves like a violent, psychopathic bully and someone mentions it, that doesn't make them anti-Semitic.

Christians, you and your churches don't get to be millionaires while other people have nothing at all. They're your bloody rules! Either stick to them or abandon the faith.

If you want something Scottish, go get yourself a kilt.

No one wants life to end. It was bad enough when my last tour came to an end.

I have learnt that I am incapable of packing the right amount of clothing, probably because I start 10 minutes before I'm supposed to leave, and that I truly hate airports.
