My mother thought Hollywood was a den of iniquity, and people came to terrible bad ends there.

I was near sighted. I was born myopic, and I got glasses, right after that.

I was taken to concerts when I was six, seven years old, and sat in a box throughout the whole evening.

The reality in business and in 'Dragons' Den' is you win some, and you lose some.

It is a privilege to join the panel of 'Dragons' Den' and support the next generation of U.K. entrepreneurs.

I went through quite a few establishments that maybe weren't great for myself - security units, youth-offender places. I guess that was going to the lions' den. Social services said, 'You've got to go to some sort of school.'

There's nothing new about European anti-Americanism. To go to a dinner party of intellectuals in Paris in 1960 was like walking into a tiger's den with a piece of raw meat in your hands.
