Of course I don't want to go to a cocktail party...If I wanted to stand around with a load of people I don't know eating bits of cold toast I can get caught shoplifting and go to Holloway [women's prison].
I once went to one of those parties where everyone throws their car keys into the middle of the room. I don't know who got my moped, but I drove that Peugeot for years.
Thanx for all you did and said, i'm so grateful dad's not dead
I thought coq au vin was love in a lorry.
i forgot to ask how's your husband Mrs O""oh, he's dead miss babs""how terrible, how?""his heart stopped beating

Everyone I meet is gay, married or crackers
Sexual harassment at work... is it a problem for the self-employed?
People always think I hate doing interviews. I don't. I wouldn't do them if I didn't like them.
I used to make my own food and ate on my own in my room.
Acting is not my favourite thing. I don't like wearing costumes and wigs.
Well, I think there's not much of a chance for me finding somebody of my age. Gentlemen of my age are dropping down 30 years to find girlfriends.
In London it's easy not to be the focus of attention, especially when Sting lives in the house just behind you.
A lot of panel programmes rely on men topping each other, or sparring with each other, which is not generally a very female thing.
