I would never ever talk about my own personal life in an interview.

When the weather's good, there's no better place to be than the British countryside.

I'm an old git now, so I would say this, but television was better when there were less channels. There was more concentration and selection in terms of the output.

There is no such thing as the worst gang because they're all pretty bad. It is very difficult to classify them in terms of who is worse than the other because they all have pretty bad things associated with them.

Riots born out of political issues aren't the same as those born out of personal greed.

I have seen incredible bravery from very young guys, the young generation that people write off.

I didn't even watch the soaps when I was in them because it's like a coal miner coming home and staring at the coal scuttle - I was never a great lover of watching myself act.
