The power of telly is surprising. If you're in a six-part series, you're famous while it's on - people point in the street. Two weeks later it all goes back to normal.

If you're in the so-called public eye you have to watch your P's and Q's.

What I did, I did without choice.

I don't have a television. No. So, I don't watch anything.

Careers are what they are, they don't make any sense at all when you look back. We're not in charge of them.

Brighton gives me the heebie-jeebies. When I'm near the seafront I can't sleep, I can't eat.

I think you can make perfectly good television just from people who are genuinely interested, talking to people who genuinely know - simple as it sounds, it can be riveting.
