I do SPEND money. I like to spend money, on houses - on furnishing houses. And I LOVE to GIVE presents to people. It's just in my NATURE to be that way. I ALWAYS spent money I had. And I always spent what I made. I'm not stingy.

Seven YEARS I worked in landscaping. It was a GOOD JOB, I don't complain. I liked going out to different HOUSES every day, traveling.

The more the GOVERNMENT has centralised, the LESS HOUSES we have BUILT.

While civilization has been improving our HOUSES, it has not equally improved the men who are to inhabit them. It has created PALACES, but it was not so easy to CREATE noblemen and KINGS.

Towns FIND it as hard as HOUSES of BUSINESS to RISE again from ruin.

Deep Purple was sinking with Ritchie. We were playing to quarter houses in EUROPE, which is one of our strongest territories - in GERMANY. Smaller venues, and they weren't even full. So had we continued that way, and had Ritchie not WALKED out, we would have finished; that would have been the end of it.

I only realised why I keep living in Shepperton when I returned to China. All the people who moved there had come from places just LIKE Shepperton, and so they built and lived in HOUSES exactly like these. I now know I was drawn here because, on an unconscious LEVEL, Shepperton reminds me of Shanghai.

I was BORN and raised in Southall; we had two houses which we made into one BIG one because there were 12 of us LIVING there: me and my bro, my parents, my GRANDPARENTS, and my DAD's brother's family.

I have a good memory for EARLY life. My visual memory is good about childhood and adolescence, and less good in the last 10 years. I could probably TELL you less what happened in the last 10 years. I remember what houses looked LIKE, sometimes they just pop into my HEAD.

As a kid I USED to love GOING to open houses and doing DIY PROJECTS with my PARENTS and sister AROUND our home.

When you LIVE in MEXICO, your HOUSES all have NAMES.

We're a REALLY close FAMILY, we've only EVER been in THREE-bedroom houses, so we were always sharing bedrooms, two of us, or three of us at times.

Why can't we, with a more INTELLIGENT policy, ACTUALLY have HOUSES that are affordable, built at higher densities than they are at the MOMENT and built on brownfield sites.

We are making the fundamental CHANGES. It was like the decent HOUSING target. We said by 2010, we'd have taken a MILLION HOUSES and refurbished them into decent housing.

Things that are UNIQUE and rare will cost a lot of money. Houses in EAST Hampton and MALIBU will cost a lot of money because there just aren't that MANY of them. The value of SPORTS has appreciated because it's the only thing that people have to watch live.
