I do find myself surprised by the comedy shows that seem to have the same joke week in week out.

If I ever had any vanity, then I definitely lost it by being on television. It doesn't do you any favours in terms of showing you what you look like and what your emotions are.

I have done well out of TV, but not well enough to buy football clubs. I'm not sure it's ever a way to make money.

I'm not bald. I'm just taller than my hair.

Gardening has just sort of grown on me. I find it therapeutic. And I like smelly things.

On the environmental front there's concern about global warming and high levels of carbon dioxide, and trees take in CO2 and store carbon.

It's true, people don't imagine I'd be particularly woody.
