Every woman should wear make-up. It takes years off. I'm wearing lots of false eyelashes today, and to me, lipstick is the best cosmetic that exists.

You can't help getting older, but you can help yourself from becoming old and infirm, in mind as well as body.

I've never yet met a man who could look after me. I don't need a husband. What I need is a wife.

And I have a special cream that I use that I made myself that I invented, that I put on at night and during the day.

I mean, even my dressing room at the studio has candles and cushions and cashmere rugs and things.

I was so fortunate to work closely with the designer Nolan Miller whilst on 'Dynasty' to create the wardrobe for Alexis Carrington Colby, and we had great fun sourcing outfits.

Dynasty was the opportunity to take charge of my career rather than waiting around like a library book waiting to be loaned out.
