My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them.

I'm off everything apart from the fags and the coffee. I don't know if it's worked. It works up until you take your first drink.

I neither want it [brandy] nor need it, but I should think it pretty hazardous to interfere with the ineradicable habit of a lifetime.

I was like a clock that had exploded- my springs were hanging out, my hands were cockeyed, and my numbers were falling off.

The thing about drugs and sex is that you lose all your inhibitions. I've had sex in trains, planes, wine bars... and quite a few car parks!

I'm just an old slag who gets up every morning, scratches his head and wonders what he wants to fuck.
