I have a fear of poverty in old age. I have this vision of myself living in a skip and eating cat food. It's because I'm freelance, and I've never had a proper job. I don't have a pension, and my savings are dwindling. I always thought someone would just come along and look after me.

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

Without fake tan I have the skin tones of a dead jellyfish.

My daughter has always had a strong sense of her own identity. From the day she was born her father and I were in love with and in awe of her and still are.

I prefer highs and lows to an even keel. Moderation is never something I've been good at.

I might be needy, competitive and desperate but it's far better than being wet.

As a rule, wearing a bigger pair of jeans looks better than squishing yourself into a pair of jeans that used to fit before you gave up smoking.
