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.'
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?
I bet Maurice Gibb's heart monitor was singing the tune of Stayin' Alive.
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.
The only time I took Ecstacy was years and years ago. It was absolutely amazing.

I'm actually quite self-sufficient, so it might look as if there isn't room for anyone in my life. That isn't entirely the case.
All my day is spent dealing with other people. When I come home I like it to be empty. The presence of others in my house kind of annoys me. I love coming home and shutting the doors. I feel brain dead. I'm relatively available, but not to live with.
