I watch schlock telly. Like the 'Kardashians.' I love it. It's my guilty pleasure.

Evolving into a middle-aged person is quite interesting if we can understand what it means. I would like to think it meant being a bit sure of what I want.

I'm known among my friends for saying things I probably shouldn't sometimes, but I have to get things out in the air.

Any people whose lives are about the way they look, whether it's fat or thin, are in a dangerous area.

There is a latent fairy in all women, but look how carefully we have to secrete her in order to be taken seriously. And fairies come in all shapes, colours, sizes and types, they don't have to be fluffy. They can be demanding and furious if hey like. They do, however, have to wear a tiara. That much is compulsory.

It was my father who taught me to value myself. He told me that I was uncommonly beautiful and that I was the most precious thing in his life.
