I know if I had the chance of going aboard the Titanic in those days, I would have gone - I know I would have. I adore going on the Queen Mary - I think it's the only way to travel from New York.

A 'naughty pickle' is how I'd best describe myself. I think fun and laughter is the whole point of life.

Single by choice, just not my choice.
