I don't get star-struck at all.

A Local Government Stationery Store is something to behold. It's like walking through the back of a cupboard into a really dull Narnia.

The siblings of special needs children are quite special. Absolutely accepting and totally loving, from birth, someone who is different mentally, and has a different way of seeing the world, is a wonderful trait. It's a trait I wish there was another way of getting, but there isn't. And it does involve a degree of not having it fantastically easy.

I'm very devoted to my kids - I'm completely blind to their faults.

TV feels quite constipated, and the thing I find particularly difficult is the branding of the channels where it's not 'Is it a good script?' but 'Is it a BBC2 script?'

I never ever Google myself. That way madness lies.

I start the day with the intention of doing 4,000 sit-ups but then have to work.
