• No me interesan en absoluto los orígenes de Stonehenge. No me importa la verdadera historia que hay detrás ni si debería salvarse o no. Lo que me interesa es lo siguiente: en la época victoriana, podías ir allí como turista cultural precoz y te daban un cincel para que arrancaras un trozo de las piedras y te lo llevaras. Eso es lo que se hacía en la época victoriana.

• I'd signed up not just for Christianity but the established Church of England. That has a particular history and I think we rather lost it in the 19th Century, we became so much part of empire and colonialism, the language of the Church Of England still reflects that Victorian time. As the 20th Century developed, not surprisingly people left the church and I can see the church's role in losing people.

• The only acceptable way to solve ecological problems is if you can persuade people to have fewer children. In the Victorian times, there were families of 15 children. Someone like Edward Lear, he was the last of 21 children. And so what we have to think about is offering people the alternative choice. And in the West, that's what's happening. The birth rate has been dropping steadily and still is. I'm wanting human beings to be better off so they don't view children as an insurance for the future.
