Every mother and daughter should make time for a trip together. It's good for the soul.

Property is my major investment. My accountant has put money into various long-term savings arrangements. To be honest, I am a bit vague about all that stuff.

I have never, for a single moment, been aware of pressure from anyone in television about how I dress, what my shape is or how I speak. I've always written my own scripts. I've always been the first to point out that I need to be fit. I need to look good.

I do have a rule that very few meetings are worth more than ten minutes.

I don't like the anonymity of the banking process - people now don't have a bank manager they ever meet.

Growing up in a business-orientated family meant that I naturally learnt the tricks of the trade.

I saw George Bush at a benefit concert actually waving at Stevie Wonder. Someone had to tell him, 'He can't see you.'
