I can feel the 60S looming. In my profession, I've just moved along with my age. By thinking in decades, rather than whether someone's 42 or 47, you can give yourself a whole 10 years to turn yourself around in.

I am not a fanatic about anything. I do what I can do when I've got the time.

I don't need a piece of paper to suggest that I can commit myself.

My parents were hugely supportive like that. I was always the best - it's so embarrassing, isn't it? I was always the best at everything.

After all my various relationships I find myself now home alone.

The funny thing is I'm not bothered or sad about being on my own - after all I've never had a husband.

I am not going to share my private life with millions of people. I don't find a need to do that and nobody else close to me does either.
