For me, just being on the cover of a magazine wasn't enough. I began to think, what value is there in doing something in which you have no creative input?

If your wearing lingerie that makes you feel glamorous, you're halfway thereto turning heads.

It was like a big family, since so many of us brought our kids. We all went surfing. It was so relaxed and easy.

For 15 years, I've been playing the same character - which is myself - and I'm bored with 'myself'.

I'm almost 50, so I obviously don't have the same body that I had when I was 20. But I also don't have the same mindset either, when I was wracked with self-consciousness and insecurity. Now I really appreciate my maturity as a woman, my depth of spirit and soul and my understanding of who I am and what's important to me.

A few pounds show a lot on my body. But it's okay. I believe women look good with a bit of softness to them.

Everything I do is about women honouring themselves, treating themselves and taking care of themselves.
