My life contains so many other things; I have my children, my grandchildren, my two dogs and a big place in the country. I have my own life.

I am uninterested in appearing in newspapers and on television. Many people think I am striking a pose - that I want to create a sense of shyness. But it's just not something I want to do. I overdosed.

My path has not been determined. I shall have more experiences and pass many more milestones.

I have always had strong maternal instincts. Even when I was still a child I cut out pictures of prams from newspapers and imagined the feeling of pushing my own pram through fresh winter snow and seeing the wheels' tracks behind me in the snow.

I have one pug and one Czechoslovakian dog called Prazsky krysarik.

I'm a country bumpkin. I'm not a showgirl.

There is a danger of changing too much in the search for perfection.
