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

I remember being in China and realising how irrelevant not even Britain is, but also Europe. We're just another remote country that hardly impinges on some places at all.

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.

The labour Party has lost the last four elections. If they lose another, they get to keep the liberal party.

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

I am attached to the west coast of Scotland - it's gorgeous to look at and challenging. You have to contend with the possibility of being blown away or rained on. And in the summer months you can be eaten alive by midges.

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