I was like one of those nauseatingly nice children. I was very, very well behaved and boring.

I was reading William Shawcross's biography of the Queen Mother, dressed in my witch outfit! And you know what? It was a really good mix; it was a therapeutic mix.

No, I can never rely on Tim to make me pretty.

I drink booze, I smoke, and I'm hooked on caffeine. I actually have been known to swear at times and belch and even raise my voice when provoked. And I'm not physically repressed!

I've never had white teeth. To be honest, I've never been told to do any of those horrible things - get your teeth whitened or your nose straightened.

I look completely like my mum. She's very foreign, very Jewish.

I liked pretending to be other people: I could reinvent myself, reinvent my own reality.
