I guess I'm the last of the Cockneys.

My friends are all megalomaniacs - from Damien Hirst to Jack Nicholson - all of them.

I had a terrible time with feminists in the Seventies. They hated me, those women. I think they hated everything.

I was ten when I got my first serious beating. It was rough.

In France they don't think I'm difficult.

I was a terrible father. The most I ever did for my children was to teach them chess. At least they got that.

I hate men who are in touch with their feminine side.

I like change. There's something Buddhist about it - continuous change is wonderful.

I'm not political and I don't judge.

I don't feel very optimistic in London.
