I have never done a package tour in my life. It appeals in a way, but then I remind myself that you can't control the other people with you, which could turn out to be ghastly.

If there's one thing I know, it's this - everybody thinks somebody else is having a better life.

I spent my entire childhood living abroad because of my father's occupation, so we were on long-haul flights all the time.

Success, in whatever form it takes, is a tricky thing - once you've achieved your goal, then what? Where do you aim?

When popularity is your only goal, doing well in class is going to feature very low, if at all, on your priority list.

I met Tom Baker doing a voice-over when David [Arabella's friend, David Tennant] wasn't at all well known. We were doing this voice-over together and I said to Tom, 'Oh, my friend's a really, really big Doctor Who fan,' and he replied, 'Wait!' He got his cheque book out and asked, 'What his name?' I said 'David Tennant'. He wrote, 'To David Tennant, seventeen pounds forty five', signed it and I asked him what it meant. He said, 'He'll know'

If you have any power at all from being popular, then you have a duty to help people out.
