People always think I hate doing interviews. I don't. I wouldn't do them if I didn't like them.
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.
Last time I went Intercity there were a couple across the aisle having sex. Of course, this being a British train, nobody said anything. Then they finished, they both lit up a cigarette and this woman stood up and said, Excuse me, I think you'll find this is a non-smoking compartment.
I've never understood the point of ecstasy. I think if I wanted to get dehydrated and jump about with a load of people I've never met before I could go to a Methodist barn dance.
My mother, she didn't believe in praise. She'd never say anything was great. I think that's quite Northern, to not make people feel too good. I didn't mind if she was proud of me or not, it didn't bother me. I was never trying to please her.
I sometimes think that being widowed is God's way of telling you to come off the Pill.
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?
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.
