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.

Any actress will tell you - it's really hard. If you're not an A-list Hollywood movie star, if you're in the middle, there are people who assume you wouldn't do certain things without even asking you, when actually you probably would. And there are people who always think you are busy doing something else.

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

I'm a Taurean, so I'm very passionate and determined and materialistic. Down the years, I've spent a lot of money and saved a bit of money and had a lot of fun.

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

I can't dance on ice, because I'm like Bambi on ice.

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