I find myself born into this particular position. I'm determined to make the most of it. And to do whatever I can to help. And I hope I leave things behind a little bit better than I found them.
It is now 14 years since I first suggested that organic farming might have some benefits and ought to be taken seriously. I shall never forget the vehemence of the reaction.. much of it coming from the sort of people who regard agriculture as an industrial process, with production as the sole yardstick of success.
My Rainforests Project ... has three main elements. Firstly, to determine how much funding the rainforest countries need to re-orientate their economies so that the trees are worth more alive than dead.
Something as curious as the monarchy won't survive unless you take account of people's attitudes. After all, if people don't want it, they won't have it.
. . . a jostling scrum of office buildings so mediocre that the only way you ever remember them is by the frustration they induce - like a basketball team standing shoulder to shoulder between you and the Mona Lisa.
The whole imposing edifice of modern medicine is like the celebrated tower of Pisa - slightly off balance.
I believe passionately that everyone has a particular God-given ability.
There's nothing like a jolly good disaster to get people to start doing something.
One of the main reasons for the conflict in Syria, and the terrorism that it's spawned, is climate change and drought.
To get the best results you must talk to your vegetables.
Father told me that if I ever met a lady in a dress like yours, I must look her straight in the eyes.
I learned the way a monkey learns - by watching its parents.
If you think about the impact of climate change, it should be how a doctor would deal with the problem. A scientific hypothesis is tested to absolute destruction, but medicine can't wait. If a doctor sees a child with a fever, he can't wait for endless tests. He has to act on what is there. The risk of delay is so enormous that we can't wait until we are absolutely sure the patient is dying.
All the time I feel I must justify my existence.
