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 best viewed from a distance.

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

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.

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 think my siblings sometimes have to defend me within their social circles - they are both barristers.

As a five-year-old in Berlin in 1965, I didn't know that funny women existed. It wasn't until I got back to England that I realised women could be funny.
