  4. “And all I can tell you is the support that I had. I want to tell you about the art room. The art room was in the oldest part of the school, 18th century building, right in the middle of it, and it was always open.

Anyway, it was just fantastic. And the support that I was given by Father Martin Haig, my lay teacher, John Bunting, an incredible sculptor who actually embodied what, in a way, the vocational life of a sculptor was.”

  6. “Or one of the first people to get the permission to produce penicillin. You know, I didn't see him that much because he was always off to India or Australia or Singapore or Hong Kong. It's hard not to be very admiratious of a man that fought in the First World War, married a German that made his own life. I mean, and at the same time, he was brought up by Morris brothers and he wanted absolute discipline. So we had to do first steps in Latin primer. Twice a week. And if you didn't get your declensions right, you got smacked. So there were times when I would be in tears in the study for having failed my Latin.”

  7. “Well, no, because it's a bloody here. Right. Belting him. No, he was an incredible sailor. We had this boat called the sea trap, which was an old clinker-built boat. And he would just set out from, we had, we had as a kind of country place, this old stables, our main house had burnt down. And he would launch this boat, quite a big boat with big old red sails.
