Quote

Someone said to me the other day: Well, you're eventually going to live until 110. And I said: Well, who's going to keep me? What age do I retire? 100? How are you going to live all those years and who is going to keep you doing it? I have a couple of grandchildren now so I'm banking on them.

Growing up, there was only classical music on BBC Radio. We had to listen to the American Forces Network in Germany, which played pop songs, or the pirate radio boats off the coast.

I've done a lot of radio in my life. I've done radio plays for the BBC when I was young so I was absolutely used to that style of work, of working with the voice. I have a very distinctive voice so it's always great for me because I open my mouth and everybody knows who it is.

I've got a lot of back-up because my father was a Catholic, my mother was a Protestant, I was educated by Jews and I'm married to a Muslim. So I won't lose out on a technicality.
