Quote

If you are a rich person straining every sinew to keep every last pound in your pocket, there comes a point when you realize you are not just escaping the clutches of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. You are passing a greater burden on to people poorer than yourself, and depriving even poorer people of your support.

I think political correctness is a moving line.

I like New York. There are similarities with London that make it feel rather like home, but at the same time it's slightly fictional.
Clive Anderson
Image
I don't think I'm really a rude person, but now I see myself on television, I think, 'Oh, God, that is a bit strong.' And I wonder if I've always been like that and I haven't been aware of it.

I'm a trained lawyer, after all, so I don't have to admit to anything.

If I ever had any vanity, then I definitely lost it by being on television. It doesn't do you any favours in terms of showing you what you look like and what your emotions are.

On the environmental front there's concern about global warming and high levels of carbon dioxide, and trees take in CO2 and store carbon.

It's true, people don't imagine I'd be particularly woody.

I'm not bald. I'm just taller than my hair.

I like being forced to think about things in a different way.

If I ever had any vanity, then I definitely lost it by being on television.

My favourite plant is the foxglove. I think they are a perfect balance between being a garden plant and a wild plant, as at home in woodland as they are in a city.
Clive Anderson
Image
I've always liked trees. And then, growing up, I took an interest in ecology, hedges being destroyed, the landscape being turned into prairies.

This is me, Clive Anderson, saying good night. Good night.

If you look at it ecologically, deforestation is high on the list of things which bring devastation. You cut down trees to build homes, for fuel, and you end up with no trees left, and you have to move on. If you take the earth as a whole, eventually there's nowhere to move on to.
