If I have a choice between putting my kids to bed and going to a party, I'll put my kids to bed. If I have a choice of going to a restaurant or having friends round, I'll have friends round. Every time.

I feel beautiful when I'm at peace with myself.

But I do know focusing on the exterior doesn't make me happy. If I want peace and serenity, it won't be reached by getting thinner or fatter.

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?

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

I don't believe we own our children, they're their own souls who make their own choices, we just guide and support them.

I like colourful knickers, but most importantly a great pair of knickers should be taken off with more joy than they were put on.
