I keep my house tidy, because then I can think clearly. I feel the same about myself. Presenting yourself well is a working-class thing - my dad was a printer, but he wore a tie most days. The ungroomed look belongs more to the middle classes.

I think sometimes my controlling instincts came out of a fear of other people.

I think I tried to control situations within my first marriage and I wasn't the easiest person to live with.

I think my younger self would be more amazed to know I was doing an interview for 'The Spectator.
