My favourite plant is the foxglove. I think they are a perfect balance between being a garden plant and a wild plant, as at home in woodland as they are in a city.

I don't think I'm really a rude person, but now I see myself on television, I think, 'Oh, God, that is a bit strong.' And I wonder if I've always been like that and I haven't been aware of it.

I like being forced to think about things in a different way.

I like to think of myself as a natural gardener.

I think political correctness is a moving line.

I try to make myself walk around a bit, but I probably think about it more than I actually do it. Years ago, I did think about joining a gym.
