I’m not bald. I’m just taller than my hair.
It’s true, people don’t imagine I’d be particularly woody.
Schoolchildren and older people like the idea of planting trees. For children, it’s interesting that an acorn will grow into an oak, and for older people it’s a legacy. And the act of planting a tree is not that difficult.
On the environmental front there’s concern about global warming and high levels of carbon dioxide, and trees take in CO2 and store carbon.
I try to make myself walk around a bit, but I probably think about it more than I actually do it. Years ago, I did think about joining a gym.
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.
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.
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.
You can be a famous poisoner or a successful poisoner, but not both, and the same seems to apply to Great Train Robbers.
The labour Party has lost the last four elections. If they lose another, they get to keep the liberal party.
I like to think of myself as a natural gardener.
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.
I have done well out of TV, but not well enough to buy football clubs. I’m not sure it’s ever a way to make money.
I remember being in China and realising how irrelevant not even Britain is, but also Europe. We’re just another remote country that hardly impinges on some places at all.
I think political correctness is a moving line.
I’m pale-skinned so I don’t feel at my best on a beach.
I do find myself surprised by the comedy shows that seem to have the same joke week in week out.
I am going to have to stick to the script. If I muck around with the words it will defeat the object.
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.
This is me, Clive Anderson, saying good night. Good night.
