It's a bit of a headache being a perfectionist. You're never satisfied.

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

I'm pretty good at getting things out of the way, especially paperwork. I hate it sitting about, as it somehow weighs me down.

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

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

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.

I've been a single parent for a long time. It reminds me of being a waitress. As you walk back to the kitchen, requests come at you from all sides. You're doing the job of two - you have to be highly organised.
