• When I was young, my favorite picture book was 'Fletcher and Zenobia,' written by Edward Gorey and illustrated by Victoria Chess. It's long out of print now, but its mix of macabre humor and 1960s psychedelia made it a perfect children's book for the times.

• Una vez, en Las Vegas, cogí a cuatro modelos de Victoria's Secret y les hice un gramo a cada una en 45 minutos. Me declaré rey de Las Vegas y decidí remodelar mi habitación de hotel con mis propias manos para que pareciera el dormitorio del rey Luis XIV en Versalles. Derribé dos paredes enteras, y más tarde tuve cuatro cirugías de nudillos. Aún así no estaba tan colocado como Rob Ford.

Los tiempos están cambiando.

• Only those of us, I think, who were born under Queen Victoria know what it feels like to assume, without questioning, that England is permanently top nation, that foreigners do not matter, and that if the worst comes to the worst, Lord Salisbury will send a gunboat.

• Hay una tolerancia y esto es algo realmente importante cuando se trata de aumentar realmente toda la sensación de hacer algo e impulsar la economía. Obviamente no todo va a ser una bonanza, algunas cosas van a ser horribles, pero ¿no sería genial que tuviéramos un escaparatista fantástico para hacer algo con esos escaparates en Fairfield green y esos escaparates de Victoria's Secret. Me encantan las chicas en sujetador con bragas, pero son sólo maniquíes. ¿No sería genial que algunos artistas locales se reunieran y dijeran: "¡Eh, Victoria's Secret, hagamos algo!". Lo necesitamos.

• Debería haberse prestado más atención a la transformación fundamental que tuvo lugar durante el reinado de Queen Victoria, de soberano gobernante a monarca constitucional. Una vez más, el género importaba. Si Alberto hubiera vivido, parece claro que se habría resistido mucho más tenazmente a esa evolución, que la emasculación (y feminización) gradual de la monarquía probablemente se lograba más fácilmente cuando una mujer ocupaba el trono.

• In 1897, troops from the greatest empire the world had ever seen marched down London’s mall for Queen Victoria’s diamond jubilee. Seventy years later, Britain had government health care, a government-owned car industry, massive government housing, and it was a shriveled high-unemployment socialist basket-case living off the dwindling cultural capital of its glorious past. In 1945, America emerged from the Second World War as the preeminent power on earth. Seventy years later . . . Let’s not go there.

• ¿Por qué todos los empleados y marineros de los trenes parecen tan tristes y cansados, tan tristes y cansados? Yo os lo diré. Es porque saben que el tren va bien. Es porque saben que llegarán a cualquier lugar para el que hayan sacado un billete. Es porque después de haber pasado Sloane Square saben que la próxima estación debe ser Victoria, y nada más que Victoria. ¡Oh, su salvaje éxtasis! ¡Oh, sus ojos como estrellas y sus almas de nuevo en el Edén, si la próxima estación fuera inexplicablemente Baker Street!
