- It brings out the worst in you, Buckingham Palace. I was doing an event there, sort of... part of a concert, and I was given a dressing room which was a guest room, at the front of Buckingham Palace. And you look out of the window, you're right next to the balcony - THE balcony. And... I thought, well, I just can go out there and have a fag. And there I am, looking down The Mall, and suddenly there's a minor searchlight on me, and below the policeman says, "sir Ian, don't forget, you're in Buckingham Palace."
You can practically see the smoke of his pretend cigarette.
