He had me going for a minute until Florence Nightingale. Best line: I don’t know much about Tracey Emin, but I know what I like: nice, self-effacing people, eager to put their successes down to luck and leave it to others to ascribe them to talent or application, aptitudes which are themselves bestowed by fortune. I’m definitely not keen on rich installation artists moaning about engineering work on their gravy train line. And she’s an idiot if she thinks that that’s the sort of train they do better in France.
