- "I knew from the previous owner that Sir Anthony had been born in this house and spent a number of years living there, so I asked him in. He had a really good look around the house and said he was born in my daughter's bedroom.
- "He said he has got a place in LA and would send us a postcard with his details on it. He said we could visit.
