I broke my ankle ten years ago so high heels are not an option unless I'm literally going door to door for a function.

I dieted all the time in the Sixties, but we had no idea what dieting meant - we thought it meant not eating anything.

I am good at down grading - I have found I can live the same lifestyle in a two-bedroom apartment as in a five-bedroom house.

This is the moment behind which I could forget every other moment that has passed.

I'm very organised these days, and I keep my life in my handbag, like most women.

I'd been a housewife and mother to our son Thomas Jefferson, and I was looking for a new career. So when my agent called and said a producer named Paul Elliott from E&B productions, the biggest panto company in the country at the time, wanted to meet me I agreed.

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