We seem to have reached the age where life stops giving us things and starts taking them away.

I like being able to go to the supermarket and go on the Tube and have an ordinary domestic life. I'd hate to have to protect myself. I'm quite lucky that I can carry on without any intrusions. I don't get given a hard time by anyone.

Other people have a much better idea of what I might do than I.

In today's politics, it would be good to have politicians who are more upfront about what they felt and actually not trying to bend with every breeze. They're infuriating, all of them.

I love a really good storyline.

People smile at me as if they know me. I just smile back. They probably might know me.

It's funny how a film about a murderous old English toff can help you.
