Getting an honorary ambassadorship from the president of Kosovo in July.
The death of my father in May 1995.
Walking along Oxford Street on Saturday pulling a shopping trolley that my mother bought me. I remember saying, “I’m never going to use that!” and there I was, very grateful to have it in my life. She died before Christmas and I can’t ring her to tell her that she was right.
I am not a crier.
Cruelty. I don’t see the point.
President Zelenskyy.
Losing one of my children, as there is no greater loss.
I am always disappointed in myself. I always feel that I haven’t achieved enough, or been as good a parent as I could be.
Every time one of my kids was born and I knew that they were healthy.
My late wife – she died of cancer. We tried everything we could do to save her. I wish that I could have done more and that I could have been with her at the moment she passed away. I couldn’t be in that room, because I knew it would be so devastating that I wouldn’t be able to take care of the kids after.
