It was Julie Burchill who decreed that, beyond a certain age, a man should not be seen in a leather jacket.

I am 54 and age is slowly writing itself on my face.

I'm an armchair kind of guy, especially when it's raining, which it always is and always will be.

About every four years, someone says to me, "I've got a friend who looks exactly like you." What can you say to this?

Acting in a stage play is like working the evening shift in an office.

Obviously I am not bothered about men's fashion - is anyone, apart from Jonathan Ross?

I abhor nothing more than bumping into someone I know on the Tube.
