I don't understand people who travel purely gastronomically, who book a Michelin-starred restaurant three months in advance and suddenly find themselves in Copenhagen or Barcelona with a zeitgeist plate of snail porridge.
Just when my biological clock started ticking, I found out it was going to be virtually impossible. And it was very hard.
One day I would want to be an Egyptologist, the next day an ornithologist. I was an exhausting child.
You can say a lot of things about me, but I own my own opinions. They're not for sale.
Let's face it: I'm not a looker. I'm a scruff. But I have embraced my scruffiness. We're happy together.
I'm so in love with David Dimbleby.
A good 'Bake Off,' for me, is just about cakes and nice people - and that's a successful show.
In Hebrew, the name Susan means 'graceful lily' - in Khmer, it means 'girl with the bad puns,' and in ancient Aztec, it translates as 'she with the cockerel hair and dirty glasses.'
I'd never been one for leaving the comforts of home. That person wasn't me; I didn't spend my formative years youth-hostelling round Rwanda or climbing Everest in a tie-dye playsuit to raise awareness of something or other.
'Bleak House' remains a great novel for me, and I love 'David Copperfield.'

I've always thrown myself into love in a rather carefree way, and the net result is that you do get hurt. But I wouldn't take away any of the experiences of my life.
I don't think anyone can listen to a Smiths song and not scream your lungs out in recognition of what it's like to feel odd.
It's always a treat for me to go to the British Library.
I read a lot when I was at college, but really, only a few of Dickens's books work for me.
I was an international krumper at one time. I can't talk about it, really, because when you've lived for krump like I have, when you get a bit older and you move away from it, it's hard.
I'd love to see Kate Bush, full stop.
I'd really like to see Mary Berry busting out a Pitbull number!
