I came to acting quite late. I tried not to be an actor.

Acting is always something I thought I could do, and I thought I would be pretty good at it, but I thought that I missed the opportunity, that it was too late.

I'm always late for things and always feel like I'm rushing.

I have been five minutes too late all my life-time!

I am invariably late for appointments - sometimes as much as two hours. I've tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong, and too pleasing.

One of the benefits for me of starting late in this business is I realised that if acting was the only thing I could do, I would struggle, so I always wrote as well.

It's not to late to... ask yourself if you really are the person you want to be, and if not, who you do want to be.

When you've been brought up in variety, I think timing is always important in your life. If I'm ever late for anything, whether it's personal or business, I always apologise. 'I'm sorry I'm late,' and all that. And if somebody is late meeting me, I expect them to say 'I'm sorry I'm late.' It's just, shall we say, showbiz etiquette of my day.

People say that I'm always late, but that's a myth.

The anxiety I feel when I'm late is nothing like the anxiety I feel when I'm on time.
