    1. I cried when I first found out, and probably for a few months after it as well.
    2. To be honest, a young boy from the east end of London, born in Leytonstone, and here at Windsor Castle, being honored by His Majesty the King – the most important and the most respected institution in the world – it's quite a moment.
    3. I've been very obviously lucky in my career to have won what I've won and done what I've done but to receive an honor like this, of a knight, is beyond anything that I ever thought that I would receive.
    4. I looked at old pictures of him when he was quite young in morning suits and I was like, 'OK, that's what I want to wear,' so I gave it to my wife and she did it.
