Discussing the London traffic issue in 2002 - "The problem with London is the tourists. They cause the congestion. If we could just stop tourism, we could stop the congestion."
On the primary troubles in Brazil - "Brazilians live there."
On the culinary prowess of British women - "British women can't cook."
Whilst in Kenya to a native woman who had presented him with a small gift - "You are a woman, aren't you?"
To British students in China - "If you stay here much longer, you'll all get slitty-eyed."
To a driving instructor in Scotland - "How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them through the test?"
To young deaf people in Cardiff, referring to a school's steel band - "Deaf? If you are near there, no wonder you are deaf."
To a blind woman with a guide dog - "Do you know they have eating dogs for the anorexic now?"
To the President of Nigeria, who was dressed in traditional robes - "You look like you're ready for bed!"
To Lord Taylor of Warwick, who is black - "And what exotic part of the world do you come from?"
To an Aboriginal man in Australia - "Do you still throw spears at each other?"
