I love Sutton House in Clapton, a beautiful example of Tudor architecture.

I never felt like I had to rebel against my convent upbringing, because it was comparatively regular.

At 27 or so I thought, you know, I actually do really want to make money and have a proper life, and I don't want to be a loser. I know! I'll go to university and get a proper degree and maybe get a job in media... I went and did an English degree.

Spending way too long worrying about what people think about me is a bad habit.

I always, always want to make people laugh. In every situation. Even when it's inappropriate.

Things change when you get to 40. I'm embarrassed even that I'm going through it. In a very morbid way, at 40 you become aware of how long you've been on Earth and you start to question what you're going to use the remaining time doing.
