I used to have a list of things from my school buddies of what kind of art material they wanted. I'd go up to the West End of London and spend the whole day knocking stuff off.

The last thing I stole was a box of Coca Cola from a parked truck in Adelaide. I was nice and drunk. It was New Year's Eve. And that was about 28 years ago.

I won a scholarship with the Brixton School of Building. I screwed around, not putting in a proper attendance.

It has been rumoured that I was the brains of the robbery, but that was totally incorrect. I've been described as the tea boy, which is also incorrect.

There has been so much rubbish written up in the papers over the years.

Banks' beer. There's nothing like it! To Brazil. And to Barbados justice.

I am no longer a criminal. I gave up that practice years ago.

One report said that since my time on the run I've had 2,500 girlfriends. I mean, you have got to realize I've been on the run for more than 30 years. I have got to have had more than that.

I am not a perfect man who has led a faultless life.

For more than 13,000 days on the run, my life was a soap opera.

I don't have any intentions to return to England. I would go back if I could return as a free person. I don't want to return to prison.

The real measure of your "wealth" is how much you'd be worth if you lost all your money.

Today is felt to be the most complicated day in our lives and rarely in trying to deal with the issues of today, are we aware of the impact of the past on those issues.

I may be president of the United States, but my private life is nobody's damned business.

When a thing is done, it's done. Don't look back. Look forward to your next objective.

There is a coalition of anti-Semitism today, the extreme left, the extreme right and in the middle the huge corpus of Islam. I'm worried, I go around with a very heavy heart.

Even before I started writing songs, that was one of my goals to be a writer, and I still have that goal. I've just gotten sidetracked.

You need cliches. Cliches are what people respond to.

A man sometimes devotes his life to a desire which he is not sure will ever be fulfilled. Those who laugh at this folly are, after all, no more than mere spectators of life.

The question is not do you take money out of stocks and put it into real estate, or the reverse. There's so much money out there looking for a home. I don't think it's either/or.
