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.

The ideal man doesn't exist. A husband is easier to find.

I know a lot of people didn't expect our relationship to last - but we've just celebrated our two months' anniversary.

Little bitty bags are completely impractical - I like big slouchy bags because they have to be comfortable for my lovely wee Chihuahua Tequila, who comes everywhere with me. I'm devoted to him, now my kids have long since flown the nest.

I have always worked and I would say I'm generous with money - if somebody needed anything I would always give it to them.

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.
