I first came to London as a musician, and when my group broke up, I did ‘Guys and Dolls’ at the Watford Palace theatre. After that, Ned Sherrin found me and brought me to the West End to do one of his shows. The work went from strength to strength, so I thought: ‘This is where the world wants me; I’ll stay.’ Clarke Peters Read Quote

Do not hide behind utopian logic which says that until we have the perfect security environment, nuclear disarmament cannot proceed. This is old-think. This is the mentality of the Cold War era.

I got a feeling that when I have kids, I’m going to have a little girl, and she’s going to be completely sensible. Justin Townes Earle Read Quote
I look for those moments that are ‘gee whiz’ moments. There’s some ‘gee whiz’ stories in our show, and they can’t be written like A-1 in the Times. They have to be written more like Page 6 in the Post. Shepard Smith Read Quote
I travel abroad constantly on book promotion and research, and the Internet is invaluable to me for accessing U.K. news in places such as America, which most of the time hasn’t heard of England. Peter James Read Quote
