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 eventually got a job with a television company, started to see how exciting journalism could be as a career, and decided that was what I wanted to do.

I have been asked to lend people money - I now only ever give whatever amount is comfortable without thinking it will come back, otherwise when you see that person wearing a new coat or going on holiday you think but yes, where is my money?

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

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

I'd make banks more accountable. I think they should separate totally the personal banking arm with whatever else they are playing around with.

I never wanted to run a production company. I didn't want to convert my life into running a business.... so I always resisted it and kept things simple.
