मुझे नहीं लगता कि मैंने जिंदगी में कभी कोई मुश्किल सबक सीखा है। शायद स्पोर्ट्स बेटिंग को छोड़कर, जिसमें मैंने पैसे गंवाए। मैंने ऐपल के शेयरों में भी पैसे डुबाए। कोई यही सोचेगा कि ऐपल में निवेश करके सिर्फ मुनाफा ही कमाया जा सकता है, पर मैं उन बदकिस्मत लोगों में से एक था जिन्होंने उसमें भी घाटा उठाया।
I don't think I have ever learnt a difficult lesson. Probably sports betting, which I have lost money on. I did lose money on Apple. You'd have thought you could only make money on Apple but I was one of the people who managed to lose.

कॉलम लिखने के मामले में, एक-दो अपवादों को छोड़ दें, तो मुझे शायद एक पत्रकार के तौर पर मिलने वाली सबसे बेहतरीन फीस मिलती है। इस सफलता का कुछ श्रेय मेरी मोलभाव करने की क्षमता को भी जाता है। इस खेल का मुख्य नियम यह है कि आप पैसे मांगें और जब वे कोई रकम बताएं, तो आप कहें, "नहीं, मुझे इससे ज्यादा चाहिए।"
In terms of column writing, with the exception of one or two others, I am probably paid as well as you can be as a journalist. I attribute some of this success to my ability to haggle. The main thing in this game is to ask for money and when they tell you the amount you say, "no, I want more".

किसी फुटबॉलर से पूछिए कि वह क्या पका सकता है, तो उसका जवाब हमेशा स्पेगेटी ही होगा। यह वो चीज़ है जिसे आप तब बनाते हैं जब रसोई में कुछ और न बचा हो। यह गरीबों का खाना है और इसमें कोई खास नजाकत नहीं होती। यह बिल्कुल ब्रेड की तरह है—बस इसे ओवन में सेंकने के बजाय उबाल लिया जाता है।
Ask a footballer what they can cook and they always say spaghetti. It is what you reach for when there is nothing else left in the larder. It's poor people's food and it's unsophisticated. It's the same as bread - you just boil it instead of putting it in the oven.

मुझे डर है कि पैसों के मामले में मैं कुदरती तौर पर काफी समझदार हूँ। मेरी पत्नी को लगता है कि ऐसा इसलिए है क्योंकि मैं एक यहूदी हूँ, जो कि एक तरफ से थोड़ा यहूदी-विरोधी बयान है और साथ ही बिल्कुल सच भी है। साफ कहूँ तो, मेरे जितने भी 'गोयशा' यानी गैर-यहूदी दोस्त हैं, उन्हें इस मामले में कुछ नहीं आता-पता।
I am afraid that I am actually naturally good with money. My wife thinks it is because I am a Jew, which is both slightly anti-Semitic and also correct. Frankly, all my "goysha" - gentile - friends haven't got a clue.

जब मैं बच्चा था, तब मेरे पिताजी वाकई मशहूर थे—वह हर हफ्ते वोगन और क्लाइव जेम्स के शो पर और रेडियो पर आते थे, लेकिन मेरी नजरों में वह तब भी काफी मशहूर नहीं थे। मेरा सबसे अच्छा दोस्त बेन ब्रुक-टेलर था। उसके पिता टिम 'द गुडीज' में काम करते थे—असली प्रसिद्धि उसे कहते हैं।
My dad was undeniably famous when I was a kid - he was on Wogan and Clive James and the radio every week, but as far as I was concerned he wasn't famous enough. My best friend was Ben Brooke-Taylor. His dad Tim was in The Goodies - that was famous.
