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

I love nice things - I consider Ralph Lauren sheets to be a necessity, not a luxury - but I've known what it's like to be poor.

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.

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 don't think for a second that I'm the best at anything, but I know I'm really good at quite a lot of things because I work hard.

I don't want to fly the flag for being unhealthy and overweight, but I don't want to fly the flag for being too thin, either.

I never rule anything out. I'm an entertainer. Be it presenting, singing, acting, I just do things I love.
