I've spent years when I've not been in the limelight at all and I'm perfectly happy living my life without being swooped on by paparazzi.
If I hear the word 'retire,' it makes me want to throw up. And then do what? Sit around all day watching television?
It is unseemly to undress on stage. I won't do that.
I think it has something to do with being British. We don't take ourselves as seriously as some other countries do. I think a lot of people take themselves far too seriously; I find that a very tedious attitude.
I say, 'Use it or lose it.' I have my own fitness regime, which is centred around stretching, free-weights and fast walking. I also have a trainer half of the year, as I spend my summers in the south of France where I swim a lot.
I think it is shocking that 15- and 16-year-olds leave school unable to add up and with the reading ability of a four-year-old.
