Manchester University kept my place open for three years but I was enjoying the money and freedom. So I turned it down."

"At the moment the greatest reward is simply the increase in knowledge’--and the discipline. I had an essay failed this week. The professor said I hadn’t answered the question. I’ve been thinking about all week. I know I haven’ t got the facility for essay construction. I just let myself to get excited. I feel more emotionally than I do mentally. I’m very ordinary really."
