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.

You have nothing to sell except for the image: The image is everything.

Being a public person doesn't necessarily mean you're a piece of meat for everybody.

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

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.

I think that natural beauty is very charismatic... I just believe in enhancing who we are rather than trying to manipulate or change it too much.

It's always been very clear to me that I was going to be a mother and that my purpose in life was to give life.
