There's a difference between criminals and crooks. Crooks steal. Criminals blow some guy's brains out. I'm a crook.
I won a scholarship with the Brixton School of Building. I screwed around, not putting in a proper attendance.
I am no longer a criminal. I gave up that practice years ago.
One report said that since my time on the run I've had 2,500 girlfriends. I mean you got to realize, I've been on the run for more than 30 years, I have got to have had more than that!
I was involved in the robbery for a purpose, and that was because I knew somebody who could drive a diesel train. I was responsible to take along this old guy who could drive the train.
