I never really learned the value of money. My father didn't spoil me, but I think my grandparents did.

Think of your pension and start saving. Like my father, I have been a spendthrift, and I regret that.

I was never particularly wild, just very busy and often didn't think about what I was putting into my body. Today things are very different. I stopped smoking in my late 30s; I avoid wheat and gluten as this makes me feel bloated and sluggish; exercise regularly and bounce out of bed.

I was brought up very conservatively. My father was positively Victorian - I wasn't even allowed to wear my hair down.

I will do my best to entertain. That's what I am: an entertainer.

I am as far from a hypochondriac as you could ever be.
