I haven't got purity, and I don't think I ever did. I have always been, even as a child, a very decadent little person.

Life has changed. People have changed. They are more forgiving, less inclined to rush to judgment. And I have changed.

All I have to do is what's right for me.

I do yoga. I do tai chi. I do a lot to keep my body and my spirit together so I can work.

The voice of God, if you must know, is Aretha Franklin's.

I focus on the individual and not seeing this great big monster, "the press."

To be diagnosed with cancer was a frightening thing, and my first reaction was sheer panic, but I was really fortunate that the cancer was caught at such an early stage that I didn't need chemo or radiotherapy. But I know that cancer is a chronic condition, and once you've had it, you're on the list, because it can come back.
