You know, there's that temptation in interviews to make yourself sound - well, to give yourself a bit of mystery.

I did things with the microphone stand that no-one else has attempted to do.

I think the interview form works best on the radio. There are a lot of personality traits conveyed in a person's voice, the rhythm of their speech or how confident they sound.

My advice to all interviewers is: Shut up and listen. It's harder than it sounds.

I don't think of myself as giving interviews. I just have conversations. That gets me in trouble.

For years, I didn't give interviews because I was scared of people judging me or thinking I was arrogant.

I think one of the reasons that I got so good at it, as somebody making radio stories, is that on the radio I can actually - I can understand what's happening in the interview and can make a connection in a way that makes sense.

I was frightened. I hadn't really had any experience, and then all of a sudden I was thrown straight into doing interviews. Most people have build-up. I had none.

I did, but I'm not real fond of giving interviews.

Even in the early Eighties, when I was one of the most successful models in Britain, I didn't really have a voice. Time after time, when I should have spoken up, I simply walked away.
