It's amazing how I can just ramble on for hours, isn't it? And so unentertaining or uninteresting. But I can ramble on for hours. It's a sort of terrible gift, isn't it?
On meeting Victoria and David Beckham: Victoria pointed to her necklace and said '?1.5 million'. David introduced himself. I was staring at his wife's tits and shouting 'how much?!
The BBC will always be attacked by whoever is in government. It is that George Bush thing of 'If you're not with us you are against us.'
A good rule to remember for life is that when it comes to plastic surgery and sushi, never be attracted by a bargain.
I don't think you should have to try to be nice, I think most people are nice. I think being cheerful and nice is just a politeness.
My mobile rang around lunchtime one day, and it was George Michael. He wanted to come in on Friday. We were like, 'okay, if that's what you want'. And he was a very good guest. That's a real exception to the rule.
If it was possible for me to adopt, I probably would, but no one's going to let me adopt.
I've so exceeded what I ever wanted to do.
Britain's such a twisted, weird little place.
I'm often dating people, but I don't say it because you sort of know it won't last long.
I'd like to retire at 50 but I don't want to sell papers in the middle of London on a Zimmer.
You don't want to be hard to look at. Plain very good, hard to look at bad. The plain shall inherit the earth; time is our friend.
My life could have been so grim really, really grim.
It's lovely to get one successful show - the chances of finding a second one are not so hot.
