I can be very difficult if people are not professional, or lazy - or the opposite, which is take themselves too seriously.

I'm not very much of a foodie; I like small amounts of delicious things, but I've never overeaten - I'd much rather have a glass of wine.

I think very few people do find a relationship where, every moment of every day, everything they do comes together. That's why, in a nutshell, everyone loved Barbara in 'The Good Life.' She was the perfect partner. It was a formula. She wasn't glamorous. She wasn't clever. But she was a good partner. That's too easy, too perfect.

For me, compatibility is a sense of humour, being able to laugh together; that is very important.

When I was much younger, I sometimes felt rejected by feminists because of an image that I sold because it paid the bills. Any fool could tell my hair is dyed.

There is the most wonderful thing called Polaris: it's a very high frequency laser treatment that lifts and tightens the skin.

When I was little I always thought I was marked out, special, on the verge of something momentous. I used to tingle with anticipation.
