"Name anything - high-definition TV, computer obsolescence - and I'm pretty much annoyed by it."
"I'm not posh or common, I'm in between."
"I love that pre-mod jazz look of the late Fifties, the Steve McQueen style that influenced the British modernists."
"I've got a stag weekend coming up and I've said I'm not doing anything more than a few drinks. I won't have it. I'll go home and watch Antiques Roadshow."
