Thank God we're not like America. Everyone wants to look like they're 20. In Europe we admire grown-up women; I think men revere older women.

I don't regret the passing of time. I try to live in the present, which should mean my life's full.

We all know now that people can look good for their age. It isn't so extraordinary, I don't know why people go on about it so much.

I'll dance to anything: Bob Marley or rap.

From one till seven, when we moved to England, I spoke only Portuguese. But I can't speak a word of it now.

I don't believe in expending energy on something you can't do anything about. If there was some easy way of fixing things, I'd probably do it.

Everything is about class in England, whether it's upper, lower or middle. Why should that be?
