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

I won a scholarship with the Brixton School of Building. I screwed around, not putting in a proper attendance.

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

I am not a perfect man who has led a faultless life.

I would like to be remembered as a good father. A good husband. A good brother. A good friend. A good man. But that is simply not going to happen. Like it or not, I have reached the point of infamy when I am going to be remembered simply as 'Ronnie Biggs', whatever or whoever he is in your mind.
