People only watch my shows for me, and those shows have remained evergreen long after the guests are forgotten.

My husband passed away a long time ago, and of course a lot of people have courted me. I've been taken to dinner and also to things like Larry Hagman, in particular years ago. And more recently, of course, little Hugh Jackman - and he's too young for me though, frankly.

I am writing a book called 'The History of Australia in Hundred Objects.' It's of things we have invented in Australia. And you know, some of them are amazing. We invented the clapper boards used in films. We invented those cranes - those big long cranes used on construction sites.

Peter Cook and Dudley Moore were friends and the last people I expected would predecease me. They were, in a sense, casualties of fame.

A lot of people, for reasons I can't understand, are puzzled to learn I drive. In fact I have been driven since I was 18 and have never had an accident or been clamped.

Australia is an outdoor country. People only go inside to use the toilet. And that's only a recent development.
