Julian Clary

I thought they were staring at me because I was gay. But it was because I was on the telly.

I'm not sure how aware of the rest of the world I am. I live a rather sheltered existence.

I thought a dignified thing to do would be to live in the country by the time I'm 50 and write books.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

People say, 'Where do you live?' and I say that theoretically, I live in London, but basically that's just where I go to change my suitcase. Otherwise, I'm always flying somewhere.

I'm so hands-on, from the color of my tour bus to what I eat for dinner at 5 or the way the lights are hung.
