Sad old blokes, I'm told, now dream of me with a whip in hand.

I don't like the anonymity of the banking process - people now don't have a bank manager they ever meet.

Believe me, I've done my time travelling the world in cramped conditions and carrying my own luggage. Now my leisure is summers in the south of France or the Hamptons, walking in Connemara, and year-round shopping in Manhattan and Paris.

I like one nice man because he gets three tickets for the cinema so we've got somewhere to put our coats. He passes the test. I've been quite surprised because I really didn't expect to be wined and dined, and it's quite nice.

I was thrilled when a designer shop assistant said I was a size smaller than Madonna!

Growing up in a business-orientated family meant that I naturally learnt the tricks of the trade.

I like to look put together without trying too hard. I don't want to look as if God's made another rainbow - I prefer muted, autumnal colours, like most fading redheads.
