The Irish seem to have more fire about them than the Scots.

I left Scotland when I was 16 because I had no qualifications for anything but the Navy, having left school at 13.

The knighthood I received was a fantastic honour but it's not something I've ever used and I don't think I ever will.

But I wouldn't call myself sadistic.

I find if I just sit down and think, a solution presents itself.

I've never kept a record of anything. I gave away everything: all the posters, the memorabilia that would have been helpful - and financially rewarding.

I like women. I don't understand them, but I like them.
