Life is not life unless you make mistakes

Yes, I remember the bombings. Yes, I remember, because - yes, I remember being in air raid shelters. Even though I was evacuated because I was very young, I remember being in air raid shelters and the tremendous feeling of compatibility with everybody.

If I need to cheer myself up, I will put on some fabulous '40s musical on video. But I'm very lucky; I seldom get depressed. Without question, I'm a 'glass half full' person. In fact, it's three-quarters full!

I don't use e-mail; I phone and fax. I think people who are hunched over their computer screens all day should get a life.

I have to say that those nine years were full of turmoil and drama and trauma to me, in actual fact.

Dynasty was the opportunity to take charge of my career rather than waiting around like a library book waiting to be loaned out.

I consider you as old as you look and feel. And in that case I feel - I feel I'm about 39, like Jack Benny.
