  rofl!!! What a perfect line!

  I never really had any ambition, except that I like to be the best
at whatever I do. I'm the best lazy bastard in Australia. Everyone has
trouble understanding it. When I work I am totally focussed, but I can
put the same effort into doing nothing. I was quite happy to go on at
school forever, or at Pye forever, or punting, or hang around the 
house forever...

  The business about having to earn money and pay tax is just a
distraction.

Regards,
Bob
