When you have a kid, money matters.

I can't think of a bigger waste of police time than chasing somebody who has said something offensive on Twitter.

It's painful and it's messy. But sometimes you just have to make the break and start again.

Grammar schools are public schools without the sodomy.

I am a sweet old softy, but it took toughness to get through what I went through.

Love is what's left when being in love is gone, okay? It's when you care about someone and you hope they're happy, but you're not under any illusions about them. Maybe that kind of love is not exciting and passionate and all those things that fade with time. All those things that you're so keen on. But in the end it's the only kind of love that really matters.

I do tend to look back to my parents generation and think wow! what a great way to be, to live with one person for a lifetime, to bring your kids up in these really solid families.
