“Sex and the City: The Movie' - a bit like the All Saints comeback, and the return of the Jammy Dodger, it feels a little staged and all wrong.”
“Rodents are pests and not pets, and anything that manically runs around a wheel 24/7 and occasionally has 19 babies in the middle of the night should not be brought into the house.”
“I love PG Wodehouse.”
“Grown-up parties are so dull they make me want to throw a tantrum and hurl red wine on the nearest cream-damask armchair.”
“I loved 'Life is Beautiful' and action films are great, like 'Die Hard.' My favourite is the mob film - 'Goodfellas,' 'The Godfather,' 'Once Upon a Time In America,' anything with Robert De Niro in it.”
“I always have eyeliner in the house. There might be no bread, we might be out of milk, but there's always eyeliner.”
“It's deep in the south of India and next to Goa, but thankfully the folk who like Goa haven't worked out that Kerala is a lot nicer and just next door. You do feel that you are discovering somewhere entirely new in Kerala. It makes you feel like you are on a totally different planet.”
“My twenties were painful. You had to go out to nightclubs. I love not having to pretend to enjoy those things anymore.”
“I avoid envy at all costs.”
“Men are, on the whole, born without any fashion sense whatsoever. I don't say this to be mean, but I'm just being honest.”
“The only thing I'm obsessed with is sleeping. I'm really good at it and if I don't do it I'm horrible.”
“Men fill up their heads and drawers and sheds with stuff from their teenage years.”
“Now people who keep fish disturb me the most, if I'm totally honest. They always smell a bit like fish food and they know just a bit too much about eels.”
“I don't like ads: I'm too susceptible. I find myself in the supermarket buying Ronseal, and I don't even have a shed.”
“I don't think I'd get employed if I did pastel eye and a side parting. People would say: 'Get someone else for the job!'”
“I am allergic to sweating. Seriously I get in shape by lying down.”
“I don't believe in Chap Stick, I'm going to say that right now. Carmex can sometimes feel like too much of an attack. It's just too much sometimes.”
“If a straight man dresses well, chances are he's not straight.”
“I had a go with Botox but looked both scared and surprised at the same time. I don't like to be either.”
“I'd like my children to remember all the cuddles and bedtimes, and that I worshipped them unconditionally.”
