Fame overcomes everything.

I never really learned the value of money. My father didn't spoil me, but I think my grandparents did.

Generally, I'm a pretty positive, but like any other working person, if the jobs aren't coming in, I do get depressed.

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

I'm not scared of snakes, spiders or heights. I have three children; as a mum, you can't be afraid of things like that.
