A politician will do anything to keep his job, even become a patriot.

When a man says money can do anything, that settles it: he hasn't got any.

After my accident, the stuff that mattered was stuff that made a difference in the world, not the stuff that made money.

I was extremely lucky as I was in one of the last generations of British students who went to university and had my fees paid, and I had a grant as well. I also earned money from my waitressing and designing and selling my own range of dinosaur cards.

Everybody on my street was broke, running around with no shoes on. We didn't have money, but we played tag, we talked. It was great.
