We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. They are a hundred times better educated than their grandparents, and ten times more sophisticated. There has never been such an open-minded group. The problem is that no one is giving them anything fresh. They've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.

You have a faint education look about you. An educated girl never has an educated look. I cannot stand an educated look on women. It's Communism. Look at me, I passed my University entrance, but I don't show it.

Your good friends naturally bring out the best and sometimes the worst sides of you, and you go from there. I'm not a rusher. I'm horribly suspicious at first of people. It's being everyone's friend on the telly - when I meet someone they expect me to instantly be that best mate for them and occasionally you get up with a shit in your pocket and you don't want to talk to anyone. I don't mind a gab but occasionally I really am rude. And occasionally I really enjoy it.
