I have to determine whether the joy of craplets is worth preserving.

Frankly, I was surprised at how generous the Japanese press has been to the idea of a foreigner running Sony.

I'm an angel not a frickin' saint.

I don't feel like I need to be on an island to be enjoying myself and relaxing.

I was very aggressive as a child. At primary school in London my attitude was 'If you don't do what I say, I'll knowk you out', and I was eventually expelled for fighting.
