I'm an ardent Trekkie and I look forward to the United Federation of Planets.

I’d probably say to my younger self, get yourself a whole collection of lawyers. Which is what I have now.

I think I’m a good father, but that’s taken a lifetime of experience.

I thought I’d join the RAF and become a wing commander. I realised this wasn’t possible, although I do have a pilot’s licence.

I’m just so grateful and astonished that I’m still respected and listened to.

I’m also good at meditation. It involves doing nothing and everything at the same time.

In summer winter rain or sun, it’s good to be on horseback.

I don’t have any friends; I just have lawyers.

Punk is the way of those who are unable to express themselves, but they aren’t dangerous; at worst, they may kill their audience.

In this world, everything has a pulse or a vibration. This sound is unique to each living or non-living thing and in itself creates a music that no-one can hear. I believe that this has a very powerful resonance with, and a deep effect on, our lives.
