All of us can't wait to get out there whatever way.

I have been rich, and I have been broke. Some of it is my fault for choosing bad management and making bad investments. But that is life - we all take risks.

I used to worry, 'I've lost my family.' They hated me for a while, but they're very resilient.

My dad lived till he was 78, my mum was in her 80s, and I've got two uncles who are in their 90s now.

My real self is probably more creative and more frightening than any sort of drink or drug-induced state.

I'm a diplomat by nature. I help find the middle ground. I crack a joke and use humour to help resolve potentially vicious situations quickly. It gets things in perspective and helps everyone to see that things aren't as bad as they seem.
