Getting that one England cap was massive for me. But national character is only another name for the particular form which the littleness, perversity and baseness of mankind take in every country. Every nation mocks at other nations, and all are right.
When someone in my public position has a downfall the way I did, obviously the majority of it was self-inflicted and you have to take responsibility for that. But to live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
It's a strange process. It's not an easy way to go through and, as I say, because most of it's self-inflicted you have to look inwards. All our knowledge begins with the senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason.
. Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
I thought Dan Walker's interview style needed to be a little more Johann Hari-like. So I may have inserted some Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and Kant.

How do you feel about Hari's fall. A lot of people seem to claim they never thought much of him anyway now. Always liked him. Not sure he covered himself in glory during the fall out though.
