I like to look put together without trying too hard. I don't want to look as if God's made another rainbow - I prefer muted, autumnal colours, like most fading redheads.

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

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

The Welsh... I mean, what are they for?

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

My best business decision is always to have been unembarrassed about negotiating a decent deal. Not being coy or shy about money is second nature to me.

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