I used to smoke cigarettes, ten a day, but gave up when I was 28. Now my vice is several cups of coffee a day, which isn't great if you're prone to weak bones as I am, as caffeine can leach calcium.

The idea of doing theatre always terrified me because I get terrible stage fright. In the early 1970s I was offered a panto but the thought of going on stage was just too mortifying.

I believe you need scientific proof that something works before you entrust your health to it.

I say I don't sleep with married men, but what I mean is that I don't sleep with happily married men.

As for the stage fright, it never goes away. When I'm waiting in the wings to go on, it's agony every single time but I stay focused and I know that once I'm on stage it'll be fine; I'll be in my happy little bubble.

I will do my best to entertain. That's what I am: an entertainer.

I was brought up very conservatively. My father was positively Victorian - I wasn't even allowed to wear my hair down.
