I adore dark chocolate.

One of my fondest memories was when I was in London as a young, independent businesswoman and stayed at Claridge's. I knew I had made it. To me, Claridge's is the most glamourous hotel in the world; I regard it as my home away from home. I am honoured to become part of the hotel's legacy and rich design history.

My best friend is me, and I take good care of me.

Do I believe in reincarnation? Well, let's say that I believe in karma. I think you make your own karma.

Don't talk about your diet. It's just boring, and the last thing you need when dieting is to be considered boring.
