Radio interviews are really snappy and I'm just bad at that. I just close down.

I just aspire to pick people up. That's my ambition.

I think you only really feel like an outsider if you've been an insider.

I'm not shy or reclusive. I just spend my time with people rather than journalists.

I always said that if I could just find a guy who could chop wood and had a nice smile, it wouldn't bother me if he was a thug or an aristocrat, as long as he was a good guy. And I've ended up with an educated thug.

All the cliches of glamorous sophistication have little appeal to me. Do I want to live the British version of 'Dynasty?' No thanks!
