“I was at one of the Krays' clubs, El Morocco. I was singing with Dudle...” — David Essex Quote

I was at one of the Krays' clubs, El Morocco. I was singing with Dudley Moore on the piano. Then Ronnie said, 'Come into the office, son.' I didn't even realise the gravity of it. He said, 'You got a manager?' So I said, 'No, I'm OK thanks, Ron. I've got a manager.' He said, 'Well, if you need anybody, you know where to come.'

I think I'm a good person.

I was always quite shy so I became a drummer.

I never really did anything academically.

I was always a little detached from the 'famous' aspect of it all - fame and fortune was really a peripheral thing, it was never a reason.

There is still some gravity where we are and even as far out as our moon. That is why our moon stays in orbit around the Earth. We don't feel the gravity up here because it is so much smaller than the force we feel when we are on the Earth.

With some CGI, I think the brain slightly perceives that things aren't real. There's no gravity, the light's not quite real, the shadows aren't quite real.

Life in zero gravity is hard to simulate. We practice on the ground what we call 'the day in the life' simulations, but it's just practicing some of the tests. It can't prepare you for the fact that all of your tools float if you don't pay attention to where they are! If you don't Velcro things down, they're gonna float away.

Every string theory that's been written down says the speed of light is universal. But other ideas about quantum gravity predict the speed of light has actually increased.
