Quotes

When he was born, I looked at my little boy and felt an unconditional love I never knew was inside me. As he grew, and I watched him stagger about, squeak his first words, and turn into a beautiful little boy, that feeling did not change. Tony Parsons
I think airports are places of huge human drama. The more I see of it, the more I am convinced that Heathrow is a secret city, with its own history, folklore and mythology. But what has surprised me is the love the people who work there feel for the place. Everyone seems to think they are plugged into something majestic. Tony Parsons
I've been visiting Thailand for more than 20 years but didn't fall in love with it until I visited Phuket Town in Phuket. The northern part of Phuket is one of the most fascinating places I've ever been, and largely unspoilt and unknown. Tony Parsons
My principal motivation is supporting my family, which is not a bad reason for getting up in the morning. That's always been my motivation - to take care of the people who rely on me. Tony Parsons

Tony Parsons quote: "You have to give kids from ordinary families a ladder. You..."

The thing I care about is my weight - I'm as fanatical about it as a member of Girls Aloud. I weigh myself every morning. I know exactly what I want to be - 82kg - and I try to stick to it. Tony Parsons
It felt natural. That is what I remember most about becoming a father halfway through my 20s. As if Mother Nature was giving me the big thumbs up. Tony Parsons
The most convincing argument against early parenthood is that you are in a relationship that is likely to fall apart before that child grows up. Tony Parsons
Tony Parsons quote: "When you are a journalist in the music business, as I was, you..."
When you are a journalist in the music business, as I was, you end up dying or going to the gym - I chose the gym. Tony Parsons
I hate Nassau and the Bahamas. It's one of those places I'd always wanted to visit since reading Ian Fleming but it was full of casinos with Americans in shorts. Tony Parsons
Largely this is a class thing - writers tend to be cosseted little middle-class kiddies who think that the world owes them a royalty cheque. But just doing it - being in your room for years on end, locked in your head, alone with invented ghosts - it weakens and softens the body. And I know I can't just live in my head. Tony Parsons
Tony Parsons quote: "I can't think of a bigger waste of police time than chasing..."
I can't think of a bigger waste of police time than chasing somebody who has said something offensive on Twitter. Tony Parsons
Tony Parsons quote: "I have found having my dad as my North Star has worked well..."
I have found having my dad as my North Star has worked well for me. Tony Parsons
There are a handful of barbecue seafood shacks on the beach at Hat Nai Yang, which is a fabulous place to have dinner. It's very much run for locals and they serve the catch of the day, which might be lobster, white snapper or squid. It's ridiculously reasonable, too. Tony Parsons
