I don't think any of my kids would have a good word to say about me. I think they deny that they even know me. At school, they pretend they are Anton du Beke's kids.

The thing is, when I had my first success it did coincide with the end of my first marriage, and because I went on to have a very, very unhappy two years, I don't think I equate career success with personal happiness.

I do seem to look like a lot of people.

I still have lots of friends from my pre-success days.

I think it's almost an indulgence to focus on the dark side of things. And as you get older, you want to focus on the positive.

I like witty people, people who can be witty on the spot.
