I wish somebody had told me to start using sunscreen when I was younger 'cause I grew up in the '70s... and at that time, I used to coat my body with baby oil. I think it's so important that we learn to be as careful as we possibly can and not only for beauty, but for skincare.

I went to America on holiday when I was 17 and, before I knew it, I'd been signed up by an agency and had these obligations I didn't understand, but which I couldn't say no to. This industry chose me. But I did choose to make it fulfilling.

I choose movies, I never choose roles. I look at the script. I look at the director. I look at the other actors - and then the role.

I used to wear heels because I wanted to show people I wasn't ashamed of being tall.

A celebrity name is never enough for an intelligent mass market... truly successful businesses are born of passion and heartfelt interest.

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?

I don't look at myself in the mirror. I'll flash past a mirror in the morning to check how I'm dressed, that's it.
