Before breaking into music I had various jobs: forklift driver driving a courier. But I was forced into working rather than doing it off my own bat because that was my dad's way: you got a job and paid your way.

My dad was a baggage handler at Heathrow and careful with money. He worked hard and had three jobs when I was young. I wish I'd inherited his care for money. Sadly I've grown up to be rather scatty when it comes to finances.

I'm very at ease and I like it. I never thought I would be such a family-oriented guy I didn't think that was part of my makeup. But somebody said that as you get older you become the person you always should have been and I feel that's happening to me. I'm rather surprised at who I am because I'm actually like my dad!

Ofttimes the test of courage becomes rather to live than to die.

Women's courage is rather different from men's. The fact that women have to bring up children and look after husbands makes them braver at facing long-term issues such as illness. Men are more immediately courageous. Lots of people are brave in battle.

A wise woman knows how to summon her courage and do what is right rather than what is easy.

The principal act of courage is to endure and withstand dangers doggedly rather than to attack them.

Rather like Batman I embody the themes of the movie which are the values of family courage and compassion and a sense of right and wrong good and bad and justice.

Clear thinking requires courage rather than intelligence.

Courage is not the absence of despair it is rather the capacity to move ahead in spite of despair.
