BEST MOMENTS
"Leadership is all about making other people successful." 
"If you concentrate on what is within your sphere of influence, then your sphere influence grows."
"A quarter of an hour without laughter is a quarter of an hour, Tyneside is a jolly place." 
"I was just dropped into many, many troubling situations, which were a whole lot of fun and total adrenaline maximizing the comedy." 
"Truth is the thing we've got to get truth from. The truth, from the guys on the tools, has got to be the same truth spoken in the boardroom, Alight, you're having different conversations, but they've got to be based on the same truth."
