I've never, ever had people being aggressive to me in public or abusing me, and actually quite a lot of men do say to me, 'You're quite good' - though they can't bear to go, 'You're great.'

I have a utilitarian approach to dressing; as long as I quite like it and it covers me up, I don't care what it is.

Everything becomes magnified at night. Sounds travel in a different way, it's dark, and everything seems far more spooky.

A good culture in a hospital can absorb and manage a few bad nurses, but once the culture becomes bad in itself, bad nursing practice is much harder to hide.

Being Christian towards poor people means trying to improve their lives and give them back some self-respect.

Usually, what people in the public eye do is pick two charities and just exclusively work for them. But that means you have to turn people down all the time, so I try and do something for everyone that asks me, at least once.

I think there's a far more general audience now because I've done more populist stuff on telly.
