“If we descended from space aliens, that's just as viable as Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, as far as I'm concerned.”

“My dad has a huge vinyl collection downstairs, but I was never too interested. The only CD I had was by Adam Sandler.”

“I love Adam Gemili - he's the guy kids should aspire to be like.”
