Diets are for those who are thick and tired of it.

Diabetes is an all-too-personal time bomb which can go off today, tomorrow, next year, or 10 years from now - a time bomb affecting millions like me and the children here today.

I don't think you should ever expect forever in anything, in either platonic friendships or sexual friendships.

When you're doing a television series, unless you really pay attention to your life, it doesn't leave very much time for anything else.

When the doctor said I had diabetes, I conjured images of languishing on a chaise longue nibbling chocolates. I have no idea why I thought this.

What's nice about the rain is you don't feel you have to live up to anything. Everything around you is so grey and wet and damp and dreary that you don't feel you have to smile and percolate as you do on a sunny spring day.
