BEST MOMENTS

"Disruptive means naughty. Ha! Possibly exploiting topics that maybe people don't like to talk about."

"I called Michael Jackson's team with no celebrity security experience. Two weeks later I was guarding the King of Pop himself." 

"Rockets hit and set our Baghdad hotel's upper floors on fire. We survived, but I questioned why I took the job."

"A woman was being violently stoned to death on the street. It opened my eyes to how cheap life is overseas."

"Flood London with double police to get conviction rates up. Petty theft is out of control with no support."

"Anyone who wears earphones in London should be shot. Why? It's so dangerous. I get up right behind women with bags open and then don't even know I'm there when you're trying to get past them in the street."

"I always look at what people are wearing. Look at how they're standing, look at what, what they're doing. Are they on their own? Have they got a bag? Are they with someone else? Are they on a phone?"
