I consulted a Chinese herbalist and spent two weeks on an island off the coast of Zanzibar. I was away from any kind of contemporary technology.

I'm often asked if I regret not going to Hollywood. I'm glad I didn't go, because if I had I wouldn't have my extended family, which is the fabric of my life. Only recently have I realised how special and unusual it is.

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

I'm one of the great unemployed looking for the next job. I'm waiting for the right offer. Like anyone, I want something that turns me on inside.

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

I’m the same weight now as I’ve always been-even before having children-but I have to say there’s been a redistribution of the flesh!

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.
