I did not come into football to make money. I had already made millions.
There is a lot of luck in football. Following England is like following Wycombe Wanders or Leyton Orient. You hope for the best and hope you are lucky.
Well, there's nothing I've done I'm not proud of. Making money was an interest, but it's never been my god.
I got on a high believing everything I would produce was going to sell at the rate I wanted.
I'm an Englishman. What more can I say?
If there was a market in mass-produced portable nuclear weapons, we'd market them, too.
In America, everybody thinks they're an entrepreneur. That's the problem. It's not a title that anybody should call oneself.
I've just got an exceptional memory, if I say so myself.
I'm a commercial person, not an academic.
I never experienced any feelings of closeness and caring from my parents.
I get angry when people bring derisory actions against me.
I don't like this young crudeness now which is supposed to be comedy on Friday nights.
I don't like paying 50 per cent of tax.
I am tired of hustling.
