I don't think the media circus has ever been a shock to my life seeing as I was with Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor when I was 17.

It's not so much the dressing up, but I love the idea of moving and existing in a different time.

There is not enough celebration of companionship. Relationships aren't just about eroticism and sexuality.

If people think I look good, it's the make-up.

I don't buy the tabloids, but you're surrounded by it all and people tell you things they've read. I'd be sitting on a train looking over someone's shoulder and thinking: That's familiar... oh my God, it's me.

I was seen dancing at school by a director, who asked me to be in a TV play. And it had a huge impact. So I think thats what really started me off.

I do think it's important to live in the present because in that way you won't be living in a state of regret.
