It's taken a while, but I've finally grown up and got my head around the fact that the healthier the food you eat is and the more exercise you do, the lighter you'll be. It really is that simple.

I believe love isn't simple, and it's one of the things that makes people break all the rules.

A huge part of youth is how you behave: I'm always looking for fun and anything that makes me feel alive - that in itself keeps me feeling young.

For me, the show must go on - it doesn't matter how ill you are, you get on and do it.

I think it takes time to find your natural style and learn not to be swayed by trends that might not flatter you.

I've been told if you're an actress you can't sing, if you're a dancer you can't act, you can't do theatre and be respected if you've done a TV soap, you can't have a No. 1 record. All these different things they've told me I can't do, but I wanted to do them, so I've done them.

I've grown up in the public eye, and every decision I've made has always been so public and often inaccurately reported.
