Yes I have had a tan, actually. I went to Los Angeles and got one there, but it didn't make it back to Britain. You're not allowed to come through customs with a tan.

I don't iron anything. Never have and never will.

It's always nice to receive a compliment.

You have to, at least from a distance, look as if you know what you're doing, and I can manage that.

I first bought a Buffy Sainte-Marie record when I was 12, and her music has always remained with me. In the 1960s, as a political activist, Buffy's lyrics were fearless, and I'm very grateful for all the risks that she took.

You don't like me, but you love me; either way, you're wrong.

Life would be so colourful if only I had a drink problem.
