Quotes

  Stephen: Richard, but I'm a Dick, I prefer to be called a Dick. Dick, I answer to Dick.

• Clive: What do you think about taxation? Do you think cigarettes should be taxed?
  Stephen: How can you tax a cigarette? People should be taxed, possibly smokers should. You shouldn't tax a cigarette, you won't get any money out of a cigarette. You try taxing - [holds up lit cigarette] Excuse me, could you give me a quarter of your income? Nothing. No joy at all. Can't be done.
