“I haven't got the kind of discipline where I can turn my emotion insid...” — Jimmy Nail Quote

“I haven't got the kind of discipline where I can turn my emotion inside out and then just switch off. It affects me fairly profoundly and I don't like putting myself through that kind of mincer every day.”

“I was racing through life, utterly confused and angry. I don't know if I was out of control; it was more like I felt frustrated with myself and everything I saw happening around me.”

“If you think before you speak the other guy gets his joke in first.”

“It would be wrong to say immigration holds results back or affects overall qualifications ultimately. But at the start of primary school, especially, it means that teachers have to tailor their lessons, to spend longer with pupils who have English as a second language.”

“I am really quite fascinated by echo-locating bats and dolphins and have always wondered how sound affects the unconscious brain.”

“The only opinion that really affects me is my own opinion of myself because I determine the way I am, not anyone else.”
