Personally, I have a great admiration for stupidity.
I used to have a list of things from my school buddies of what kind of art material they wanted. I'd go up to the West End of London and spend the whole day knocking stuff off.
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 would like to be remembered as a good father. A good husband. A good brother. A good friend. A good man. But that is simply not going to happen. Like it or not, I have reached the point of infamy when I am going to be remembered simply as 'Ronnie Biggs', whatever or whoever he is in your mind.
I am not a perfect man who has led a faultless life.
Do you know what would keep me in Brazil, no matter what happened? Sex!
For more than 13,000 days on the run, my life was a soap opera.
I have to accept my role. I will never kill myself like Vincent Van Gogh. Nor will I paint beautiful water lilies like Monet. I can't do that. I'm in the idiot role of being a kiddie book person.
When the situation is desperate, it is too late to be serious. Be playful.
Sisters-the ones we share last names with and the ones we choose-are the lining of every woman's soul.
I inherited my ability from both parents; my mother's ability for spending money, and my father's ability for not earning it.
