"In the 1980s snooker stars were treated like Big Brother
stars today. Now, I can walk down the street and nobody bats an eyelid.
But if you're a world champion and don't get recognised much,
maybe something is wrong with the sport" - Snooker star John
Higgins "I think you need to be quite thick and crass to make a lot
of money" - Broadcaster and commentator Rod Liddle "We are
tired of the incontinence of the John Terrys of this world. It's
babyish to behave in this stupid way" - Novelist Joanna Trollope
"There are many people in recovery all the time, and a great many
of them do manage to stay clean, to do good, to sort out their lives. I
should know. I'm one of them" - Boy George on drug-taking
"I saw a mocked-up picture of how it would look and it didn't
look good - like Natalie Portman with a beard" - Russell Brand, who
is thinking of having a haircut
