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

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

Balance sheets bore me. I suspect if figures had excited me I would have gone into the city and now be a lot wealthier.

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've had a lot of dates, but I don't think there's been anyone that special or important.

I do think your attitude towards money is an inherent part of your character.

Sad old blokes, I'm told, now dream of me with a whip in hand.
