Going to salsa clubs may be popular, but I feel we're really missing something as a society by overlooking ballroom dancing. If only we could persuade schools to teach it or there was somewhere young people could go on a Saturday night to learn it.

I do get stopped in the street, and people are always, without exception, really polite. I think it's because they think I can send them to prison.

Even my trolls have started taking the trouble to spell their Tweets correctly, which is thoughtful.

Serious crime is very, very rare, and I think all of us are interested because they are rare and unusual. If they were banal and everyday, we wouldn't be interested in them at all.

From time to time, I definitely look witheringly, which is why I'm well known.

The reality is that when you're a barrister, you're trained, and you've got ethical structures. You've got to follow the evidence, and that's that.

I give celebrity my undivided indifference. Now that it's here, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. And people who complain about celebrity and any kind of privilege are, all of them, whinging morons, and they should keep their first-world problems to themselves. I feel very strongly about that.

I wish I had a filter; then, I'd suspect, who knows? I'd perhaps have more friends.

I think if you put 100% into anything and you do it with authenticity and enthusiasm, then it really shines through.
