Gone are the days when a gentleman lightly took your hand in his and brushed his lips across it, or tipped his hat to acknowledge you as he chivalrously stepped aside to let you pass.

Making each day a mini lifetime - to achieve something and to enjoy something.

I have always tried to live my life with enthusiasm and pleasure.

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.

I don't believe in eating junk and I protect my face all the time from the sun, even in the winter with base and makeup.

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