“Yes, I hate it when people call me a 'national treasure'. It takes away your bit…” — Sue Townsend

Live with all of your senses.

I always feel as if I'm a disappointment: that people want a grand dame in furs like Barbara Taylor Bradford.

I'd love a day devoid of responsibilities. I've often thought about going to a hotel just to have a day away from everything.

Watching 'The Jeremy Kyle Show' is my guilty pleasure.
