I'm a bit shy, I suppose, and a bit lazy.

Age is just a number. It's totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine.

I like to remember phone numbers because it keeps your brain active. If you don't use it, you lose it.

I do all my own make-up, it takes me 10 minutes.

I've become totally hooked on Cellex-C. It's an anti-ageing serum and is fantastic. I use it morning and evening and even on my hands, where it has faded those dark spots.

And sometimes when I would get in the morning, when we'd go out - we'd see shrapnel and bits of stuff in the streets and bombed buildings, and - but I was evacuated a lot. Every time the blitz got heavy, my parents would take us off to the country.

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.
