My parents instilled in me that life was going to be very difficult and that I'd have to work for everything.

I have a lot of male friends that I go the cinema with and movie and shopping. A lot of men friends I know love shopping.

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

I don't believe in vitamin pills. I swear by men, darling-and as many as possible.

I'm a fiend for costume jewellery and have countless pairs of rhinestone or diamante earrings, which are so flattering when they catch the light. I love the designers Alexis Bittar and Kenneth Jay Lane, and I always go to jewellers Butler & Wilson.

And the truth is I've always taken very good care of my skin, and always, always worn make-up.

The endless bonking was exhausting me.
