My best friend is the most important girl, outside of family, to me. I met her when I went to college and we bonded immediately. I'd do anything for her at any time. We phone each other every day.

I don't know what the future holds, but I have to be confident about it. It's just the way I am.

Other than my memory being a bit woolly and my knees being a bit creaky, I don't really think there's anything I can't do.

I am a kid in the dressing-up box at heart.

I've chosen to stay in a jolly place for most of my life, and that is a lot of who I am.

I am not, I repeat, NOT a lesbian - even though I'd like to be one when I grow up.

My daughter couldn't care less about me being famous. She finds it revolting and, like a lot of teenagers, is virtually allergic to me. That started at 12 and hasn't gone anywhere yet.
