I'm About To Do My Second Bikram Yoga Class In Anchorage, Alaska. It's The Only Way To Stay Warm. I've Got To Get Into Shape. I've Been Eating Nothing But Fish And Chips.
I Was Shy, But I Stood Up In Front Of The Class And I Gave My Report.i Was Reporting On Books That I Didn't Want To Read. I Was Inventing Books That I Didn't Want To Read.
At Religious Instruction Classes, I Encountered The Pilgrims Progress By John Bunyan, And The Sincerity Of The Traveller In That Book Was Overwhelming.
Although It Is A Fantasy Film, It's As Real As It Can Be. You Have To Imagine That An Audience Will Buy Their Ticket To A Cinema And Get On A First-class Flight And Journey To Middle Earth.

Actually The Royal Family Were Very Gracious And Good To Me. But I Also Found That The British Establishment Were Never Quite Sure What To Make Of Me. I Was A Labour Figure, But I'd Come From A Very Middle-class Background. In One Sense I Offended Both Traditional Right And Traditional Left. But I Thought That Was No Bad Thing.
The Socialism Of Centralised State Control Of Industry And Production, Is Dead. It Misunderstood The Nature And Development Of A Modern Market Economy. It Failed To Recognise That The State And Public Sector Can Become A Vested Interest Capable Of Oppression As Much As The Vested Interests Of Wealth And Capital. It Was Based On A False View Of Class That Became Too Rigid To Explain Or Illuminate The Nature Of Class Division Today.
I Was A Young Man, And This Is The Kind Of London It Was, But So Many People Are Just Not Here Anymore. Not Even Tina [chow], Who Was To Me Absolutely The Most Important Girl Of The Time. Tina Was Absolutely The Chicest Thing, The Way She Kept Herself, The Way She Moved. You're Born Like That - You Cannot Acquire It. All Those Upper-class Girls, People Like Catherine Tennant, They Used To Be There In Chelsea, Sitting On The Couch. Now Chelsea Is Full Of Russians.
