I think we take it for granted that if you are with your husband after 30 years, then he is the love of your life.

My skin is dead good. I think it must be a combination of being in love and Lucozade.

Every time I start a new piece of work, I spend a long while under the duvet thinking I can't do it.

I never imagined when I began writing in the early 1960s I'd become professional and my life would be transformed.

Sometimes I rant, in a comical way, about how the gods give with one hand and take with the other.

I am from the working class. I am now what I was then. No amount of balsamic vinegar and Prada handbags could make me forget what it was like to be poor.
