I find running life quite hard and I like sharing that. Obviously, the companionship, being loved and loving, is fantastic. But I don't feel that I couldn't live without a boyfriend or lover or husband.

I was never, ever the ingenue. The young, innocent lead was just not me.

I love buying things. I could be one of those crazy hoarders.

I was one of those lucky people with only one talent. It is harder for people with many talents to decide what to do.

Some people in my family achieved a lot, some people inherited a lot. But I turned my back on the whole thing.

I'm crazy about ducks and swans and geese, so I don't eat foie gras. I try to eat organic.

I do try and curb my mouth, but I find it really hard. I wonder how many jobs I've talked myself out of!
