I was a late starter on the romantic front. I didn't start dating until I was in my 30s.

I'm never getting too lonely because it's the kind of disease where you might sit in front of the TV with three bags of biscuits, rather than communicate with the world.

I just feel that the only power I have is setting a good example.

I've got an image of me at the bottom of my garden sitting under my silver birch tree reading, while everyone else had gone somewhere exotic.

I know that I've overfed myself trying to prop myself up because I'm exhausted.

Celebrity has some amazing advantages, of course it does. You're given an extraordinary power. It's a door-opener. I might not have to queue for things.
