In my day we didn't have sex education, we just picked up what we could off the television.
Radio killed variety and TV killed radio, and the internet will kill television and it will go on and on.
If God had meant them to be lifted and separated, He would have put one on each shoulder.
A lot of panel programmes rely on men topping each other, or sparring with each other, which is not generally a very female thing.
In London it's easy not to be the focus of attention, especially when Sting lives in the house just behind you.
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.
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.
I can remember when pants were pants. You wore them for twenty years, then you cut them down for pan scrubs. Or quilts.
Everyone I meet is gay, married or crackers
I wouldn't kidnap a man for sex - I'm not saying I couldn't use someone to oil the mower.
My massage was marvellous. I feel really relaxed. And my masseur, Harold :You can't have a masseur called Harold. It's like having a member of the Royal Family called Ena.
I have stayed true to that first idea that people can have a day in their lives that is very important and if they can reconnect with that day, reconnect with the people they were then, they can suddenly revive their emotions.
