  1. “Well, she just went on and on and on delaying and being late and messing people round, and then it was sort of as if she suddenly sort of oh you're an interested on the charm and by then I already hated her and went on hating her more and more and more”

  2. “No, if I've gone to an interview with somebody like Harriet Harmon or Marin Faithful was another one where I've really disliked them, I come away thinking, Oh, I can't wait to write this piece, you know, and I mean actually that flows far more quickly and easily. The hard ones to write are people I'm a bit unsure about where it could go this way, it could go that way. What was the word?”

  3. “Yes, well, that was honestly, that is very untypical of me. I normally don't comment on physical imperfections, but it's just that with First De Kendall there'd been this maddening thing any man you ever met always said that she was the most wonderful, most desirable, most feminine super duper woman in the world. So I was in that case looking for that imperfection.”

  4. “Um no, I mean I think there's quite a lot of people who do their flancing before I mean they don't agree to see me as it were I've had people hovering on the brink of flancing out or slightly bring an interview to a fairly abrupt halt. I think that people are well served actually by quite blunt or quite rude questions because it forces them to sort of fight back and come back strongly, you know which should be quite good.”

  5. “I think I'm very nice, but I do ask quite blunt questions, and I don't see the point particularly in beating round the bush, you know, I mean, if I'm trying to find out if Harriet Harmon is thick, I mean, it seems quite simple to ask her if she's thick, you know, but I don't know, I mean, I'm not tactful, that's for sure.”
