My first ever stage performance was in Edinburgh in 1960.

I read a whole bunch of bits and pieces over the years, obviously from the fan magazines and the rest of the stuff, and I just wanted to give a little more insight into what's happening in my personal life.

It used to be 65 when you went into retirement. Before that, when you got into your 50s, you were getting older.

I'm about to challenge for the Maryland Cup in the next couple of years, as an owner, a trainer, and a rider.

I don't feel that my marriage has anything to do with my career. It never hampers anyone's career in the film industry.

I decided that my means were sufficient to enable me to devote myself to botany, a determination which I never, during the long period of my subsequent career, had on any occasion any reason to repent of.

I don't know anyone that says, 'Boy, I had a great career, and I'm happy because I screwed up my life outside of my career, my family life.' There's no one that feels that way.

If you want to be an entrepreneur, it's not a job, it's a lifestyle. It defines you. Forget about vacations, about going home at 6 pm - last thing at night you'll send emails, first thing in the morning you'll read emails, and you'll wake up in the middle of the night. But it's hugely rewarding as you're fulfilling something for yourself.
