The things they say
■ “I’m a masala man”
– The Prince of Wales, while on a visit to an Indian street food restaurant in Birmingham.
■ “Being in a girl band, you are a machine going all the time. You don’t have a minute to breathe and take time out if you just need space. That was something I struggled with. For me, my mental health issues were an ongoing thing while I was in Little Mix. I was struggling with my body issues, I was constantly being trolled and I really, really struggled”
– Former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson on the toll that being in the girl band took on her.
■ “I love the fact that we have somebody in this position, who has these values about the planet who cares about the environment and our biodiversity. It’s something that’s very important to me and it’s crucial at the moment that all of these issues are looked at, and to have somebody in that position is so special and valuable”
– Composer Sarah Class, who has been commissioned to write
music for his coronation.
■ “Then one day out of the blue, I get a phone call from my dad. He’s hysterical, I’m like, dad what’s wrong? And he goes, ‘Robert De Niro just came to visit me at work.’ That was such a kind gesture and I’ve been so fortunate to work with so many supportive actors”
– Ana de Armas, who starred in the boxing drama Hands Of Stone
opposite De Niro.
■ “Sport’s an easy target. Aintree we saw on Saturday... How long before The Open or Wimbledon or whatever?... We’re such a soft touch as a nation – smack their wrists, give them a small fine, maybe a bit of community hours, maybe a month in prison. It’s a ludicrous situation but what do you do about it?”
