I am best viewed from a distance.

There should be more booing in shops and restaurants and places like that when when the service is bad. If you've had a poor breakfast in a hotel, you should put your knife and fork down and boo.

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

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.

I don't think I'm successful.

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

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.
