Sebastian Horsley

I am a fraud. I have cobbled together my personality from hundreds of little bits. I am simultaneously the most genuine and the most artificial person you will ever meet.

I am not an intellectual. An intellectual is someone who looks at a sausage and thinks of Picasso, whereas I just say 'pass the mustard'.

I don't talk, I quote. I can't help it. It's better to be quotable than honest.

If you have a block of ballistics gelatin and a high-speed camera, pretty soon somebody gets a gun!

If you can change three lives in 10, three lives in a hundred, that's got to be good, hasn't it?

In early 1993, when I was 12, I was separated from my family as the Sierra Leone civil war, which began two years earlier, came into my life.
