I'm too frightened of confrontation, so I will always tip - even if the service has been really shoddy.

I've got a thing for footwear; I have about 200 pairs of shoes from all over the world.

I don't want to sound like an old grandmother but actually it's quite nice when you get up early and then, by the time it gets to 10am, you're quite perky and already quite switched on.

I don't know why people think I'm polished - I often leave the house with buttons missing and ladders in my tights.

I'm always sticking up for other people.

There are a lot of people out there who lie about their age and I think it does us all a disservice. It can't all be over when you hit 30. That would be rubbish.

I must confess I knew very little about the trance scene, I'm more house and commercial dance but it was really interesting and different.
