I adore water, so it would be a real adventure to visit the Amazon before they chop down all the trees.

For me, once I've worked on something and it's finished, it's like an ex-boyfriend: you don't go back to them.

Doing the same thing day in, day out. It's just so boring. I like to jump from different things.

Money doesn't drive me.

Since finishing my professional dancing career, I've been conscious of not letting myself go.

My career was really odd, because I literally had a greatest hits album out and nobody knew who I was. They knew the songs, but they didn't know me.

I always say, you know, if I sit here and close my eyes and say, 'When did I learn the most in my life, in my career?' It'll always be when I close them and everything I think of is when I took a risk. It's when I think I learned the most.

They were both academics, but my dad had to get a job on the railway, and my mum had to get a job in the Post Office. It was pretty hard in terms of the racism they had to endure.
