A bare assertion is not necessarily the naked truth.

Trust me on this: no one is better off alone.

Enjoy this life with everyone everywhere.

To be honest I don&#39;t think I was any great shakes as a theatre actor because everything I was doing was really small in size - intimate.

I think I have a natural, if I can say that, got a kind of natural ability in comedy.

I think you should only wear jewellery if it has a story behind it.

I&#39;ve really enjoyed my work in television, but the problem for me is the turnover of directors every week.

I&#39;m not someone who believes in wasting my vote.

I&#39;d love to do a Columbo-type detective character in a series.
