I think airports are places of huge human drama. The more I see of it, the more I am convinced that Heathrow is a secret city, with its own history, folklore and mythology. But what has surprised me is the love the people who work there feel for the place. Everyone seems to think they are plugged into something majestic.

You have to give kids from ordinary families a ladder. You have to show them there's a way out.

I hate Nassau and the Bahamas. It's one of those places I'd always wanted to visit since reading Ian Fleming but it was full of casinos with Americans in shorts.

It felt natural. That is what I remember most about becoming a father halfway through my 20s. As if Mother Nature was giving me the big thumbs up.

People are always surprised at what a nice guy I am.

I once read somewhere that, in any relationship, the one who cares the least is the one with all the power.

The British - who rarely start a fight, but always know how to finish it - have nothing to be ashamed of.
