How much sleep do you need?
Whatever I can get. Usually four or five hours.
How do you feel first thing in
the morning?
Not too shabby.
What exercise do you take?
Once in a while I'll get moved to do some exercise. It's something I
long for but the biggest problem is bending down and putting my tennis
shoes on. Once I go out I'm OK.
Are you careful about what you
eat?
Not at all. I like to eat and I love the diversity of foods.
Are you or have you ever been
overweight?
I'm not really overweight but I'm not underweight either so I
could use a little exercise.
Do you take vitamin and
mineral pills?
Not really, although I do take vitamin C. I'm filming Dalziel and Pascoe
in Birmingham at the moment so I have to eat vitamin C here. You need
your vitamins in Birmingham.
Do you drink or smoke too
much?
Oh I smoke, as many as I can. It's one of those deadly things I still
enjoy doing.
Do you catch a cold most
winters?
No, not at all.
Do you think you suffer from
stress?
Yes and no. We all have to find some way to deal with stress or to
confront it and find a way to counteract it and balance ourselves.
Have you ever been in
hospital?
Yeah, I had back surgery 20 years ago.
Does your job affect your
health?
If I don't work it does. It affects my mental health. A job is
a very healthy thing to do.
How often do you consult your
doctor?
He usually consults me and says: 'I think it's about time you came in
for a check-up'.
Do you look after your skin?
Not really. I've got beautiful baby skin.
Are you happy with your body?
I used to be but I didn't take notice of it. It's only when
gravity starts to take over you begin to think about your body.
Do you take more care of
yourself as the years go by?
I anticipate problems, so in that sense I look after myself a
little better than I used to. |
