“I jumped into the audience in Edinburgh once and hit this kid and the crowd turned ugly on me.

“My brother Rich, because he’s been asking for it for years. I’d just love to put my boot up his ass.”

If you were invisible for a day, what would you do?

“I’d go and see what was up with those Masons. I’d go and hang around their temple and see if they have it as good as I think they do.”

What are your final three wishes?

“That the NBA becomes a quality league so I can watch basketball again, that I don’t have to go another day on this planet without the woman I love, and that when it’s all said and done I would have lived my life without being selfish, without having lied and without having hurt anyone.”
