Everyone wants the biggest car, the biggest bank account, the biggest house. I don’t want any part of that.
When London first went into lockdown, Mum and I were in the car listening to the radio. We drove to our local Turkish supermarket and saw queues around the building. Everyone looked terrified. I burst into tears when I got home.
Writing is like driving a car. Writing the beats of a screenplay? It’s like driving a rover on Mars. You have to be absolutely, extremely precise.
When I took my kids to see the house that we’re buying I took them in the car to the estate I grew up on. I got the kids out of the car and explained that this is where they’re from.
If somebody makes a really wonderful, ecological car, I’m down, no matter where it comes from.
I like driving at least a part-time electric car because there’s nothing coming out of the tailpipe. That’s very important to me.
When I was in my 20s I went through my testosterone phase and had a Mercedes to show that I’m rich, and they used to call me ‘Jaguar John.’ I’m older now, and I’m concerned about the environment and… appreciate a car that doesn’t pollute.
In the end, I have a nice house and groovy cars, and so do my bandmates. It’s not like they’re starving.
If you’re putting in the hours to improve your skills and open up new opportunities, a car repair shouldn’t compromise your future.
I would be ready for any kind of weather changes and carry different kinds of clothing in my car.
When I was little I adored the windy beaches of Ventor and the dinosaur cliffs at Alum Bay. I was thrilled to take the cable car, and I coveted the layers of coloured sand in tiny jars in the gift shop.

When NASCAR drivers blast one another with their cars out of anger it isn’t symptomatic of what’s wrong with white people. So please don’t turn a silly NBA fight into a town hall meeting about what’s wrong with African Americans – even though, unfortunately, something like this somehow winds up reflecting poorly on the entire black community.
Thank God I was able to buy my mom a house, switched cars, and bought myself a house.
When I first started playing I was earning 27.50 a week, and Id offer to clean the senior footballers cars for a couple of quid. Id sweep the stands in the off-season and even paint the changing rooms.
