And I think of that again as I've written in several of my beauty books, a lot of health comes from the proper eating habits, which are something that - you know, I come from a generation that wasn't - didn't have a lot of food.

I say, 'Use it or lose it.' I have my own fitness regime, which is centred around stretching, free-weights and fast walking. I also have a trainer half of the year, as I spend my summers in the south of France where I swim a lot.

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

Most of the time we've been living in England and now we've bought an apartment in New York which we absolutely love.

I don't use e-mail; I phone and fax. I think people who are hunched over their computer screens all day should get a life.

If I hear the word 'retire,' it makes me want to throw up. And then do what? Sit around all day watching television?

I think it is shocking that 15- and 16-year-olds leave school unable to add up and with the reading ability of a four-year-old.
