Nightclub mogul Peter Stringfellow had plenty to say on Brexit, women and of course sex.
Here are some of his memorable quotes from over the years.
On his celebrity clientele: “My favourite guest was Stephen Hawking. I was so excited when he came in and I wanted to talk to him about the universe. But when I asked him what he wanted he just said, ‘Girls’.” (The Evening Standard from Stringfellow’s conversation at The London Chat Show, 2011)
On claims that he had slept with 2,000 women: “I’ve been around a long time, man. Just by the sheer weight of years you’re going to have a bunch of girls in your background.” (The Guardian, 2000)
On Europe: “These people are young entrepreneurs themselves and they’re going forward. They come from all around Europe. This is one of the reasons of course I’m a Remainer. … I like those European people to come and earn money in my club. The English are more than welcome too.”(Talking to Mary Beard on a ‘first date’ set up by the Victoria Derbyshire programme)
Quipping about being a great catch for women: “I am wonderful, with a perfect physique, very charming, rich and look like Jude Law.” (Metro, 2009)
His thoughts on what men find attractive and how women have changed over the years: “Men don’t want to see ribs, they don’t find that attractive. They used to have real breasts, now some don’t.” (Mail On Sunday, 2015)
On sex: “The majority of people who say they are having the best sex in the world are usually lying and some nights that goes for me.”
