“I didn't want to look distinguished; I wanted to look fun, and also to...” — Nicholas Haslam Quote

“I didn't want to look distinguished; I wanted to look fun, and also to fade into the street, into the King's Road. If I don't fade into a room at White's, that's fine. My father was chairman of Brooks' and the Beefsteak, and I was brought up in that life, and it bores me rigid.”

“I have always aspired towards other people's looks. When I was young, I loved teddy boys; I thought they looked wonderful. Then I was a cowboy in Arizona, really for the clothes! I had a ranch for five years; I had chaps made of bearskin.”

“I never plan my novels because if I know what is going to happen, it bores me rigid. I let the story tell itself.”

“I hate people who over intellectualize. It bores me deeply.”

“I just don't want to end up on something that bores the hell out of me. Otherwise, I'll fake a knee injury and get out of there.”
