Frank Sinatra said this great thing, that singing isn't about singing in tune, or great technical singing. It's about making people believe in the story you're telling.

Soho has got to be at its centre. It's got such a history for rock, pop, poetry, jazz, writers, all those things, and I think it should be valued as such, and protected as this centre for bohemia.

People come from all over the world to see this little place they've seen in movies and read about in history books: Soho.

I think the older I get the more creative I get, I don't have the distractions that I had when I was younger.

Never feel this bad again. Never come back to this place, where only a knife will do. Live a gentle and kind life. Don't do things that make you want to hurt yourself.

Time is the most precious element of human existence.

I'm glad the Cube is reaching new generations, who face it with fresh wonder, curiosity and enthusiasm.

I eat and drink at my desk, but I'm a tidy eater.

We need a very strong military to protect the freedoms we do have.

In man, reason quickens and guides feelings; in brute, the soul lies ever dormant.
