I mean, if you're being directed very precisely by somebody who has admiration and who's really smart, it's great. If you're being told what to do by a nincompoop - and luckily that hasn't happened very often - it can be very frustrating.

My children are lovely. They're perfect.

Buy, buy, buy, buy! They want to grab you and trap you and turn you into little Elizabeth Hurleys.

I've realised that I am who I am and that is it. Like it or lump it. I'm not around to please anyone any more, and it's a huge relief.

If anyone says 'Let's have a girls' night out', I will run in the opposite direction.

It doesn't make you feel very good being mean and fierce; it is much nicer playing people who are kind and sweet.

I do not want to pour out my heart to the world. I am cautious of what I say and to whom.
