Be yourself - it's the inner beauty that counts. You are your own best friend, the key to your own happiness, and as soon as you understand that - and it takes a few heartbreaks - you can be happy.

I ski every three years or so. I don't have the ingrained confidence that others do, but I'll happily toddle about a green or blue run.

I tried Botox, but I don't want to be hooked on that stuff.

I just want a quiet life. I think that's what everybody says when they get older.

I grew up in the Fifties, and the majority of people in my class had fathers living at home. I was very aware that I was in the minority. I had a foreign name, and my daddy didn't come and pick me up from school. I felt like an outsider, which probably helped me as an actress.

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

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.
