“There is no conflict between best in British class and being a global newspaper. We are an international newspaper rooted in the City of London, and I think people understand that. The 'FT' stands out as a global niche product.”

“While the web is very much the first draft of history, a rough-cut, it still has to be good journalism, well-sourced, reliable. Clearly, the printed form is going to have more effort put into it, going to be more reflective and relevant.”

“As a cub reporter, I devoured books about journalism.”

“British media supported Hillary. No problem with that. No interference. Nothing. French media supported Hillary. No problem with that. Some Russian media supported Trump: 'Oh my God!'”

“I grew up on British fiction, and I write perhaps more directly out of that tradition.”

“I was genuinely shocked to even be in the frame for a sitcom role on British TV.”
