Answers:

1. I‘ve just agreed to do a speech for a children‘s hospital fund-raising event. People think it great to do a TV show in front of three million people, but hospitals need all the help they can get. So I‘m proud I‘m doing this

2. I‘m not good at lying. I‘ll change the subject, but I can‘t lie very well. That said, I went to Paris on Eurostar last weekend and lost the tickets, but I told everyone they‘d been stolen. But that‘s not hurting anyone, is it?

3. I saw Moulin Rouge and I could not hold back the tears. I think it‘s my favourite film now. It‘s so beautiful and the costumes are marvellous. I‘d never been a Nicole Kidman fan before, but I thought she was great. I left sobbing.

4. When my dad had to go to hospital for a small operation and hed worked himself up to such a state that everyone was really worried. I myself was frightened to death.

5. Recently in a bar in Paris. The music was Moroccan, so I just had to try my best to dance the right way. I wasn‘t quite sure what to do, so I just tried a little shimmy!

6. At the Eurostar when I told them I‘d had my tickets stolen. I know, I‘d lied, but they made us buy new tickets. So I didn‘t like that person. She was not helpful at all. Finally, a lovely Eurostar woman sorted it out for us when we got back to London.

7. Oh, I‘m quite lucky. I get lots of stuff. The last time was on Saturday when I took home some clothes from the show. I get clothes, cosmetics, jewellery, shoes everything, really. I‘ve got a little corner in my agents office labelled Cats presents.
