War is good for absolutely nothing, because no matter how far and wide apart we may live, we're all the same under the skin. We all want to live, laugh and love.

I am simply not such a slave to my vanity, and I don't want to be, because as you get older you really have to start accepting the inevitable.

I'm a romantic and will only marry for love where there's respect and compatibility. I'd like to be with someone if the right person came along. I really like male company. I like the male mind.

I'd like to break some new ground, maybe in TV presenting, rather than just be an actress.

To keep my back from getting stiff, I have a strict regime every morning of stretching and do yoga once a week and Pilates. 'Strictly Come Dancing' in 2008 was great for my fitness.

Sadly, the timing's never been right. There have been men who would have married me but I didn't feel the same, and vice versa.

I have done so many love scenes in the past that I have learned how to pull off a sexy smoulder on the dance floor.
