I'd rather kill myself than dress like Victoria Beckham in towering heels day after day.

I'd been a housewife and mother to our son Thomas Jefferson, and I was looking for a new career. So when my agent called and said a producer named Paul Elliott from E&B productions, the biggest panto company in the country at the time, wanted to meet me I agreed.

I would teach U.K. parents how to stop their children throwing litter. London is a beautiful city but its streets are disgusting.

I used to collect vintage clothing - exquisite lace dresses, embroidered shawls and ornate jewelry - but that's just not me any more.

I tried the Atkins diet in the Seventies when pregnant with my son, as I didn't want to pile on the pounds. Now, so long as I'm healthy, I don't care what my scales say.

I believe you need scientific proof that something works before you entrust your health to it.

I was so beautiful but I didn't realise it for years. I saw pictures of myself and even I was stunned.
