I had a very hard father. I had two sisters. He was soft on them and hard on me.

I was always made to work at a very early age. I finished school at 4 P.M. and by 5 P.M. I was working. It was seven days a week.

To be able to keep the promise I made to God, I think that keeps me going. No matter how much the money had been, I would have always fulfilled my promise, as that's the way I am.

My belief in a day of reckoning keeps me on the straight and narrow.

I borrowed 100 pounds and made the pact with God: Make me a millionaire - and you can have half of my money.

Stupid people do make me lose my temper and most people are stupid, fortunately for me. It's made it easier for me to make a living.
