One report said that since my time on the run I've had 2,500 girlfriends. I mean, you have got to realize I've been on the run for more than 30 years. I have got to have had more than that.

I am no longer a criminal. I gave up that practice years ago.

There's a difference between criminals and crooks. Crooks steal. Criminals blow some guy's brains out. I'm a crook.

There has been so much rubbish written up in the papers over the years.

Do you know what would keep me in Brazil, no matter what happened? Sex!

I don't have any intentions to return to England. I would go back if I could return as a free person. I don't want to return to prison.

It has been rumoured that I was the brains of the robbery, but that was totally incorrect. I've been described as the tea boy, which is also incorrect.
