Seven thirty in the morning is too early for a man of my standing.

I have two vintage typewriters. One just about works and the other hasn't a hope in hell, bless it. But they're both beautiful, and they'll stay with me just as long as there's a roof over my head.

I'm the worst ad anyone could possibly be for abstaining from anything.

I once knew a girl who didn't know where anywhere was in the world. Not a clue. I asked her if she knew where Africa was and she answered, 'Is it the orange one on a map?'

I like a decent funeral, and God knows in my family we've seen enough of them. Looking through family photographs now is like watching an episode of 'Dad's Army.

Seven thirty in the morning is too early for a man of my standing.

I want truth. I'm crying out to hear it. I need it like oxygen.
