There isn't anything I don't eat, although I'm not too keen on creepy crawly things. Other than that, I'm quite adventurous. I like all types of red meat, and I'm not a fussy eater at all.

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 really enjoyed staying at an encampment at the top of a hill in the Samburu Reserve in Kenya. You reach it on a small plane; there is no electricity, no city noises and you sleep and shower under the Milky Way, with moths fluttering around a kerosene lamp, knowing that there are elephants and lions roaming free in the valley.

I can honestly say I love getting older. Then again, I never put my glasses on before looking in the mirror.

I didn't get attached to Botox. It is costly, and you have to remember to keep doing it.

I think it's nice to age gracefully. OK, you lose the youth, a certain stamina and dewy glow, but what you gain on the inside as a human being is wonderful: the wisdom, the acceptance and the peace of mind. It's a fair exchange.

Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, the higher your profile, the more castable you are in TV dramas.
