I think we are living in paradise with regards to the ways we can amuse ourselves, communicate. We have such a richness of possibilities.

I think it's safe to say that 'manliness' was a common theme in my upbringing. It was an assumed status, but - and here's the important bit - it was the Rudyard Kipling kind. The emphasis was on gentlemanly conduct, sportsmanship, fairness and stoicism.

I think I'm just like a lot of people who had nothing. We had to amuse ourselves, so we had to become amusing.

I think in life we want to challenge ourselves.

I think I'd struggle to get excited by synchronised swimming.

The music for me is paradise. I think it's where God lives.
