Every couple needs glue to stay together. Like all marriages, I suspect, if you're busy you don't see it coming until you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. It's a bit like going broke. It happens slowly and then very quickly.

I don't despise, because no-one should live rent-free inside your head.

We mothers of grown-up daughters tend to view them with a mixture of love, exasperation, irritation and awe.

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.

My accountant regularly asks to take me to lunch. I always say I can't afford it.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, whos the dumbest of you all?

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