I paid my dues at drama school and worked backstage in every theatre in London.

I’m one of those people who never really joined the grown-ups.

The first movie I appeared in was Carry On Cowboy, though not as an actor. I was just riding horses.

However, there's three reasons for doing things in this particular world. One is love, one is prestige and the other's money. If you get all three together, that's fine.

I never wanted to be aligned to a mature group because they go off and become politicians and stuff.

Not that I have any interest in saying goodbye to Rocky. I absolutely adore being involved and a part of something that is really a phenomenon.

I'm surrounded by it. I have so many lovely people around me who are supportive, gentle, kind and considerate. I'm so grateful for every day that I'm on the planet and that continues to be so.
