I admire the Elsie Tanners and Barbara Windsors of the world: people who have crawled back from the abyss. I'm quite camp in that respect.

After graduating from flares and platforms in the early 1970s, I started drama school wearing a pair of khaki dungarees with one of my Dad's Army shirts, accessorised by a cat's basket doubling as a handbag. Very Lady Gaga.

Women are more emotional, and it's natural to talk about it.

I don't do marriage. I think it's incredibly naff. And I don't like vulgar displays of ostentation.

I love fashion, but I don't come from a background of loving clothes, and I remember feeling badly dressed from a young age.

A good fart joke makes me bawl with laughter, so will somebody farting. And the word 'poo.' You can't beat a good poo joke.

I still can't set up the ironing-board. A complete Luddite.
