Sixty felt like a big landmark. Not in a dreadful sense, but none of the other birthdays have bothered me. It’s got labels on it – OAP, retirement – and I just wanted to take stock. I wanted to be in my greenhouse at home and at least give myself the opportunity of not working again.

None of us are perfect, and we all make mistakes. But the American people are a very forgiving people.
People make mistakes – they say things they shouldn’t have or didn’t necessarily mean. But I strongly believe in consequences. If there are none, someone might feel like they’ve gotten away with something, or that what they said couldn’t have been that bad.

None of us wants to be judged by our worst act on our worst day, and we consistently judge Burr for that. He was not a perfect man, but he’s not a villain. He’s a dude, just a guy.
There is no cannibalism in the British navy, absolutely none, and when I say none, I mean there is a certain amount.
People come into public life for different reasons. None of us are ego-challenged, I think, or we probably wouldn’t be doing what we’re doing, so if anyone tells you that they don’t like the sound of the applause and the ego gratification, I don’t think they’re being straight with you.

Here’s good advice for practice: go into partnership with nature; she does more than half the work and asks none of the fee.
None of the great discoveries was made by a ‘specialist’ or a ‘researcher’.
Examining other people’s motivations, other people’s language and other people’s way of interacting is much more fascinating to me than spending a lot of time worrying about my own. I’ve said, ‘What other people think of me is none of my business.’

I am interested in the way that we look at a given landscape and take possession of it in our blood and brain. None of us lives apart from the land entirely; such an isolation is unimaginable.
