Well, I'm not good with sliminess. I hate the thought of creatures that have slime on them or creatures that leave a slimy trail. At home, the sight of a slug can bring up my breakfast.

I've got this horrible feeling that I'm one of those people who'll always have to flog their guts out to get anywhere.

I am very short-sighted, and if I don't like a situation I take my glasses off.

I can't stand folk who are all snobby about reality TV.

I am best viewed from a distance.

For me, being a woman suits what I want to talk about and what my audience wants to hear. Maybe I'm a dying breed.

I'm very jealous of my daughter's education. She's been inspired by her teachers, and nobody inspired me as a teenager.
