We should be encouraging people to earn a lot of money. I do not know one wealthy person who does not spend money - and most of them employ other people.

There's no getting away from it: you have to clean.

I had started working in television but it did not pay that much. I was 27, renting this little one-bed flat in Shepherd's Bush, West London, with a bathroom so small only someone of my size could actually get in it.

I have always liked clothes - throughout my life, my saving grace has been my own vanity.

People who earn reasonable amounts are being turned into the anti-Christ. I think 45 per cent tax is a colossal amount to take off somebody, and it is taking away the incentive to earn.

Maybe, instead of paying so much in tax, the very rich could be incentivised to help their local community and young people who do not have a home.

Unless you completely understand the investment world, do not mess around with it. It is not something I would go anywhere near.
