All my characters have got a big slice of me in them. A big piece of me, because it's my dialogue and this is the way I think and talk.

I know it's politically incorrect but I enjoy things like the kick boxing and cock fighting.

I read a lot of biographies and books with an African background.

When I vacate this sack of old bones I won't care what you do with it. Bury or burn it but don't make much fuss.

I grew up in Rhodesia on my father's ranch and every year he used to take us on safari in some remote area of the wilderness.

Politicians all over the world cater to domestic vote banks. They will spend only on what their constituents want. So unless there is a grass root green movement in a nation the politicians will not be willing to spend money on curbing emissions. More awareness is needed amongst the people to effect the real change in how governments spend.

I shot my first lion at the age of 14 when a pride threatened my father's livestock while he was away on holiday.
