The best advice he gave me was to carry on. It would have been difficult to set foot back inside a TV studio if I hadn't carried on - I don't know if I would have ever gone back in.

I had to do the book because there was an unauthorised biography which didn't tell it like it was.

I did smoke a joint once but I did not enjoy it.
