I basically have the diet of a 19th-century Irish navy, apart from the litre of stout a day. It's meat and potatoes and bread and cheese: those are my four food groups.

Don't try too hard to be something you're not.

Go boldly and honestly through the world. Learn to love the fact that there is nobody else quite like you.

I've learnt a lot about certain things but you also learn through your own experience.

I'm very proud of being Jewish. It means I have a good work ethic, and you get Jewish humour and you're allowed to tell Jewish jokes.

I'm not clumsy, I'm just accident prone.

I had one relative who passed away but fortunately none others. So my sort of experience of it is quite limited, thankfully.
