BEST MOMENTS
"Everyone's an atheist until the plane they're on is crashing."
"Just be yourself, what is wrong with liking whatever you like, or being an artist, whatever they want to do. Don't feel like you have to be the next Andrew Tate or the next Donald Trump or whatever; there's nothing wrong with being different."
"You can't even wear bad clothes now as kids in UK, you'll get just bullied."
"I respect people who stand for what they believe in, even if it's against my belief, I rate at least you're doing what you're doing."
[On Andrew Tate] “He's very genuine, kind hearted guy. Forget the sunglasses and the bald head and this and that, he's one of the nicest guys in the world”
"Look after our own people, they're suffering, they're spending this on bullshit things. That's why I love it here [Dubai], because they look after their own people."
