Please don't ask which I enjoy more - acting or hosting - because I love them equally.

Somewhere, a long way away, people are doing sensible things like mowing lawns and digging gardens.

I mistrust total competence. I've always felt life is a series of small disasters we try to get through.

I've never particularly liked travelling with large groups or being told where to go by somebody else. I prefer to find out for myself.

One of the most important days of my life was when I learned to ride a bicycle.

One of the difficult things of so much travelling is to say goodbye.

I wanted to be an explorer, but gradually found the world had been explored and that there was nowhere left, really. Once they climbed Everest in 1953, when I was 10 years old, I thought, 'Well, that's pretty much it now.' But the idea of travelling and exploring and adventure was very strong.
