To live in Australia permanently is rather like going to a party and dancing all night with one's mother.

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

I really feel sorry for kids who aren't interested in history - recent history, either, because it is this that made us what we are.

There are lots of procedural shows that I love, but I never really wanted to be a doctor on 'E.R.' - which I'm just picking as an example - or be on a crime procedural.

I think to have the skill set and the ability to physically help others in matters of life and death must be incredibly empowering.

I don't like to get in front of people.
