I'm not a philosopher, I'm just a simple boy from East Ham.
I'm not mad about movies, there are too many people involved in the making of them, and they lack a definitive creative focus.
I'm not political and I don't judge.
I've been used by women all my life, fortunately.
I've had some weird experiences.
I've never been anti-women.
