I'm a very physical person. I like to run and I like to work out.

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

Little bitty bags are completely impractical - I like big slouchy bags because they have to be comfortable for my lovely wee Chihuahua Tequila, who comes everywhere with me. I'm devoted to him, now my kids have long since flown the nest.

I was brought up very conservatively. My father was positively Victorian - I wasn't even allowed to wear my hair down.

I never really learned the value of money. My father didn't spoil me, but I think my grandparents did.

I used to smoke cigarettes, ten a day, but gave up when I was 28. Now my vice is several cups of coffee a day, which isn't great if you're prone to weak bones as I am, as caffeine can leach calcium.

I'm very organised these days, and I keep my life in my handbag, like most women.
