When I go to one of those singles dating parties I believe myself to be a bowl of fruit. When I talk to potential dates, I judge them by the smile in their lips, their smoothness of speech, and the whiteness of teeth; then I offer them the appropriate fruit, which is usually a lemon.

I was a prefect at school, I never had a tattoo, got a detention or pierced my ears more than once.

I'm in the lucky position financially where I don't have to do things I don't want to do.

I should have been out there having a wild time like all the other girls my age, but I wasn't. I was going home every night to what was, initially, a very happy marriage.

Follow your dreams, because your dreams won't follow you.

If I had a dream show, I probably shouldn't even mention it in this climate, but it would be like a kind of Fix It show.

In the past, I've thrown myself into work so much there's been very little room for anything else.
