My worst holiday was in Athens when I was a young drama student at Rada in 1965. I ran out of money. I had my things stolen and I wasn't able to speak a word of the language.

I genuinely enjoy talking one-to-one. I have no shyness about that.

I'm the one by the backdoor - I am not the one in the middle of the party.

People keep asking me if I'll marry again. It's as if after you've had one car crash you want another.

I took some classes in sign language when I was in my early teens because I was told that I would be completely deaf very early. But I never really wanted to learn.

When I was young I used to smother myself with olive oil mixed with a dash of vinegar to keep the flies away and lay in the sunshine for hours on end. But we knew no better then. Now we know how stupid that was.
