I abhor nothing more than bumping into someone I know on the Tube.
I don't ever think of myself as coming from a particular class because my father was working class but made his living as a newspaper foreign correspondent - someone of no fixed abode, as he used to say - who was as comfortable dining with the Mountbattens in India as he was having a pint with the boys. He was very gregarious.
I hate abortions, but just could not make that choice for someone else.
The great thing about rock and roll is that someone like me can be a star.
I'm absolutely not looking for someone who agrees with me about everything or someone who wants to please me by believing what I believe.
Abu Musab al-Suri is someone I got to know pretty well because he's a Syrian. Very bright guy, lived in London. He actually was the person who took myself and correspondent Peter Arnett and the cameraman, Peter Juvenal, to interview bin Laden for his first TV interview.

If life is a checker game, someone else is moving the pieces. It isn't us. Don't be surprised by amazing coincidences. There are no accidents. Consider, as I learned to do, the incredible interconnectedness of all of life.
Historically, we've just been doing accommodation. And, going forward, we're really exploring the full boundaries of everything that someone needs while on a trip, and also how can we reinvent that experience.
Someone accompanies every soul from the other side when it enters this place. Usually it is an ancestor with whom that child shares traits and gifts.
Celibacy is not a matter of compulsion. Someone is accepted as a priest only when he does it of his own accord.
We believe that according the name 'investors' to institutions that trade actively is like calling someone who repeatedly engages in one-night stands a 'romantic.'
You can't make a manager have a coach he doesn't want. I can't make the head of the accounting department work with someone he doesn't want.
If tomorrow all of America were to become paternalistic, we would beat the Japanese every day of the week. I think that the concept of accusing someone of running a paternalistic company, that's not an accusation. One should compliment someone on that.
He played the king as if afraid someone else would play the ace.
Any time someone achieves success before they've earned it, it always comes back to haunt them.
