I'm very expressive, but I'm also a very private person. It is so hard to be private in the entertainment business. I'm really glad that I was famous and successful at the time I was because it was bad enough then in a profession which tended to eat you up and never give you any free time. But I think that the youngsters today have a really bad time from every angle.

I am a great believer in naps, whatever age you are.

I combined theatre and films with live TV, such as The Royal Variety Show, performing sketches opposite Bob Hope and Maurice Chevalier.

A career is a career, but youre a mother until you die.

I eat what I want but in moderation.

I worked with Roger Moore on three episodes of The Saint. He is a lovely man, a good director, and was my favourite actor to work with.

It seems unfair that anyone can set up on Twitter using my name, or the name of any famous person, without any checks at all.
