I wish people would take more care of the countryside.

With your own children, you love them immediately - and with grandchildren, it's exactly the same.

Walking is my main method of relaxation. I don't go over my lines or try to solve the world's problems, I just enjoy the scenery and the wildlife.

I wanted to be a stage actor but I got stuck on television. It took a couple of years to get used to.

Dementia is often regarded as an embarrassing condition that should be hushed up and not spoken about. But I feel passionately that more needs to be done to raise awareness, which is why I became an ambassador for the Alzheimer's Society.

Before my mother's diagnosis with Alzheimer's, I had heard of the disease, but hadn't known anyone who had suffered from it.

I'm not interested in more money for the sake of it.
