I enjoyed school - although I ran away on the first day. I'd reminded the teacher that it was nearly time for 'Watch With Mother' on TV.

I am quite happy to take a cut. You've got to, if you want to work and continue working.

Times are hard and friends are few

I go in the butchers and there's not a lot of meat I can eat these days, with having all the animals.

It's become normal for me to walk on set as Popeye, Frankenstein or an Elf or even a chicken.

The worst drivers are women in people carriers, men in white vans and anyone in a baseball cap. That's just about everyone.

Every week I have a disaster in my kitchen. The fire alarm goes off repeatedly. But it doesn't stop me being adventurous.
