Once you enter the public's eye, you have to be aware that you give up a huge part of your own life.

Being a mother is the best thing that ever happened to me. Before you have your first baby you are a girl and then you become a mother. There is no transition into being a woman; you literally become a mum and being a mum means you always love someone else more than yourself and it is an unexplainable situation.

Once you enter the public's eye, you have to be aware that you give up a huge part of your own life.

I've covered a lot of ground geographically and emotionally and for years I lost my connection with my family. But the best comfort you can have, whether you are on the phone or sitting there in the living room with them, is with your parents, and to me family has always meant protection. When you smile you get a smile back, unconditionally.

I've lost bags all over the world and had cases end up in London, Frankfurt, Los Angeles and Miami.

Whether you go to Turkey or Mexico, China or Australia, find time to involve yourself with the people you're dealing with.

All I know is it destroyed my family, it destroyed my marriage to Sylvester and I will never get over it.
