I'm a bit of a fraud, really, as I didn't study acting at a drama school.

I know if I had the chance of going aboard the Titanic in those days, I would have gone - I know I would have. I adore going on the Queen Mary - I think it's the only way to travel from New York.

I watch people from the top of buses who don't know they're being watched. It's quite fascinating.

I've had to spend an awful lot of my life trying to pretend I'm not posh. Although once I open my mouth, I rather let things out the bag.

Anyone who goes on the stage is a show-off, aren't they? Acting's weird.

A 'naughty pickle' is how I'd best describe myself. I think fun and laughter is the whole point of life.

I would do nearly anything for a laugh, to tell the truth. And I'm a particular favourite with young men with earrings.
