I had never been to a fashion show before going to the Burberry show last month. It was an extraordinary spectacle. I was incredibly green and had no idea what an undertaking it is. I also have a new respect for models because they are so close to the front row and must be so self-conscious.

I have two sisters and a mother obviously so I grew up with a household of girls. Maybe I have a greater respect for women because of it.

If you are killed because you are a writer that's the maximum expression of respect you know.

I used to get nervous you know if my parents would come watch. And then I would get nervous if my friends came and watched. Today it's not a problem anymore actually because now I enjoy it. I see that they you know respect me immensely and I try to put on a good show and show that I can still play very good tennis.

I have respect for those who make money at art and do it well and smartly because that commercial aspect keeps the world going and running in a sense.

I saw and I met a lot of people who were in the field. It also provided a context in which I came to respect what the actor did because I saw how difficult it actually was to do.

See I respect boxing because it has given me so much and that's why I will never allow anyone to mistreat the sport of boxing if I can help it.

I don't think anyone can speculate what will happen with respect to oil prices and gas prices because they are set on the global economy.

I work on words quite separately to music. They're both ongoing and I don't ever feel like I'm working in a cycle in that respect because it's every day anyway no matter what I'm doing. Then I get to a point when I've collected together enough words that seem like they want to be songs rather than poems or sometimes not.

The mandate you go with is intimidating and also is a source of respect that you gain because you have come with this mandate from the United Nations.
